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!
I got this position so it's possible!!

It’s also filled with mistakes and tied-for-best moves and your personal preference on how to mate with a queen.
White to move and mate in 1. (This is a retrograde puzzle)

Yes, but as it is a retrograde puzzle, you can try to prove that g7-g5 was Black's last move.

But how do you know black's last move was ...f7-f5?
Dude, you have to figure that out. Otherwise how can you do the mate?
PS. Why did you show my solution?!!
I contend that your problem has no solution. That is why I did not bother to hide it.
Say you walked into a room and two players were playing this position. They've told you it's white to move. Isn't it far more likely that Black's last move was something OTHER than ...f7-f5?
There is no other solution, so you must conclude that enpassant is legal!
Who told you?
Mate in 1.
Can you assume that you can teleport a rook onto the board? Because that's the 'only solution' I can think of...
