I haven't done this one either.
Black has just played his 5th move. How did the game go?

Hmm... I have just input this position into a program that I recently downloaded which analyses such puzzles.
It found no solutions in the 10 single moves allowed!
The minimum number of single moves required is 13.
In fact, it found 14 such solutions, 6 of which involve transpositions of move order.
Apologies to anyone who wasted their time attempting the impossible.
If I post any more 'proof game' retro puzzles in future I will make sure that I check them beforehand.
