Music, How did the bishop get on h3 in your solution?

Technically it's not my solution, it's CM JamesColeman's. I just volunteered to post an explanation of his solution since we discussed it for a bit.

But either way, we might as well discuss how ALL the pieces ended up in their positions, which is pretty difficult considering the solution comes from the assumption that both sides were not playing accurately. So far, this seems like the most likely pattern of events to have occured to have the end position in the puzzle.

I went a little further, but I suppose this is a method the bishop ended up on h3. But again, it's difficult to tell for sure.
