Along with Plaskett's puzzle, and Richard Réti's endgame study, I see this puzzle far too often.

It wouldn't be much of a puzzle is it had 4 solutions, would it?
So no. Even though you suggested 4 moves, all of them are wrong because of 1. - a6.
Also, Paul made this when he was 10 years old if I recall correctly.
