Oh. Well, that significantly drops the number of answers.

Right. Although I'm still interested in Remellion's solutions.

I see the intended solution but I too am wondering if there are others:
1.e3 d6 2.Qh5 Nd7 3.Qxh7 Ndf6 4.Qxg8 Nxg8
Yep, that's the intended solution. I don't think there's another solution, but I can't be sure...

Okay, I found his idea:
1.e3 h5 2.Qxh5 Na6 3.Bxa6 Rxh5 4.Bf1 Rh8
1.e3 Na6 2.Bxa6 h5 3.Qxh5 Rxh5 4.Bf1 Rh8
Nice job! I guess the composer didn't see that.
One of my favorite PG's ever is a 4.0'er:
P. Hoffmann
PG in 4.0 b) -Qd8
Answer in white:
1. d3 e6 2. Qd2 Ba3 3. Qb4 f6 4. Qf8+ Bxf8
I'm not sure about b.

These were a bit hard to find.
I do like that study, BigDoggP. You remove just one piece and the action flips horizontally but uses the same motif.

Yep - the twinning is ingenious.
I like that pattern.
Another classic 4.0 theme.

And for those who missed the chance to solve what GreenCastleBlock posted, here's another 4.0. As an aesthetic bonus, it's an SPG - no 3.0 solutions for you here.
Klaus Kiesow
Is anyone going to solve these?
Good job! Here's another one (it has a cook though):
d3 d5
Qd3 Qd7
Qxd7 Kxd7
d4 Ke8
EDIT: I don't know what I was thinking....
Please make your notation clearer. 2. Qd3 is illegal, and 3. Qxd7 is illegal.
