Which magazine?
Curiously, there are two black-based bishops in the second puzzle...
Then again, I suppose it is a legal position, just weird...
Copied right out of Chess Life For Kids...
No, it's not legal. White has two pairs of doubled pawns and Black is only missing one piece. This wasn't the position in the original magazine (Chess Life for Kids, pretty much geared towards the hordes of 900 USCF scholastic players out there).

I'm supposed to make it look different to avoid copyright.
Got both correct on first try each. I love these work-out puzzles!

No, I really don't think you do....
Published chess positions are pretty much public domain.
It is courteous to include the name of the composer and the source, I think it is a little disrespectful to take an idea, make small changes and present it in a different form without acknowldgement....
