This puzzle, delightful as it is, is rather old. Try looking for variants of this where Black's King is actually closer or where the pawns are stationed on different ranks. Then things change drastically and the mechanical "1.g5!!!" -type answer actually smacks you upside the head.

Or he's simply never seen the position before. The answer is not exactly obvious.
This puzzle was in Hans Kmoch's "Pawn Power in Chess".. My oldest chess book i inherited from my dad whom he received from someone, published way back 1950's.. Nice book. I believe other books has this puzzle too. Anyway, great post!
