I saw a Filipino guy with a board on the streets of Manila offering to try his puzzle for 500 pesos. After 20 mins of thinking, I said there is no way to win this, but he was sure there is 1. I said i'll think at home but tipped him 100 for entertaining. he showed me the solution. It was so beautiful I tipped him 200 more! Try:

White to move. Mate in 2 moves.
