Here it is in EPD format:
rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq -
rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/4P3/8/PPPP1PPP/RNBQKBNR b KQkq e3
rnbqkb1r/pppppppp/5n2/8/4P3/8/PPPP1PPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq -

I would post the PGN, but some people may be working on it for fun still, and
you have to think a tiny bit harder to read EPD directly.  In fact, I suspect
that anyone who can easily read this stuff and see the board positions in their
heads will probably have solved it easily enough anyway.

I saw the same theme in a Scientific American magazine about 30 years ago.  It
seemed more compelling to me, as this one is something of a helpmate.
