I thought maybe this would be a puzzle to see if this was a legal position or not. It looks legal and I agree with the above comments about white losing this game. :)
what about Ke2 h3 Kf2 h2 Kg2 and the king stops h-pawn from queening?

As Nimzovich stated above, the White King is incapable of covering both the queenside pawns AND the pawn currently at h4. Black will have a Queen after 1. Ke2 c5; Black creates a passed pawn over there, and White is lost.
I believe this may be what Tonydal meant by his "slow on the uptake" statement.
(Forgive me if I'm wrong...)

This must be haunting BorgQueen's dreams by now.

Yeah, I can just see it...he's in some lecture hall talking about the importance of strategic importance (and then he looks around and the place is empty).
Except for one foreign guy with a hole through his head from one ear to the other saying "Please, strategic is not yet" as Borg's words stream in one ear and out the other.

btw sorry about my english KCO just did it to annoy Dally from another post.
White is lost in the diagram no matter who is to move, simple. Black will create a passed pawn on the qside and the white king cannot stop the h pawn and the passed qside pawn both.
In problems white is always considered to be playing from the bottom unless otherwise indicated.
sry i for got about this but the answer is reachable and for those of you who are going off topic, yes, white cannot reach the c-pawn and the h-pawn all at once(unless black has a IQ of 1-39), so the game is favored to black.

It was not at all clear what you were asking, so you can hardly blame people for "going off topic."
