A game begins with 1.e4 and ends in the fifth move with knight takes rook mate.
Reconstruct the game.

[d]rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/4P3/8/PPPP1PPP/RNBQKBNR b KQkq e3 0 1

Note: This puzzle has apparently stumped many smart people, including Garry
Kasparov, Anatoly Karpov, Mikhail Botvinnik, and Ken Thompson (a la Unix and C).
Major kudos if you solve it yourself!
