Maybe retros are too hard. I'll make a regular #1. Yep.

y2721's reasoning was... almost wrong. It should be as follows: if the last move was ...g7-g5, white made 10 captures with pawns. Black is missing 9 units. Therefore the last move was not ...g7-g5.
@The_King_Fischer: Mate in 1s can be hard. Aside from the "retro" ones (en passant, castling, black-moves-and-white-mates, both sides have mate but it can only be black to move, etc) the regular ones can be plenty difficult, e.g. mine from 2 pages ago? If an FM can find it difficult... well.
Now watch what a real composer can do, compared to my amateurish ones so far.

Solution(highlight):
Due to the fact that the black king and queen are on the wrong colour, the pieces must have come from the other side of the board. So black can't take the knight as pawns can't move back!
cool idea 
In the 2nd puzzle it is black to move and lose
???
because the coordinates of the board are reversed. the board goes a-h, with black on the first rank, so the black pawns are going down and cannot take the knight.
