Things are not what they seem...
Here’s a problem which should raise a smile. It must be solved to be appreciated.
J.J.O’Keefe
The Problemist, November 1950

Seen this one several times, always like it.
Was the author Ireland's greatest problemist?
Being the typical American product of the Irish diaspora, I am interested in all things Irish. Michael, your opinion appreciated!

Tut tut.
Messrs. Foster and Shanahan will not be pleased with you. John James O'Keefe was from Australia!
I'm surprised to learn that you have seen it several times. I chanced on it while going through old volumes of The Problemist and it made me laugh when I solved it. I haven't seen it anywhere else.

You know...
The reason why I had seen it was because I had once assumed O'Keefe was Irish and was researching Irish problemists... and of course he was probably Irish by origin, but yes, I expect some mail on that .....
Of course I assumed Victor McLaglen (sp.?, The Quiet Man) was Irish and didn't learn otherwise until last year. I believe he was a Brit who played Irishmen!

John James O'Keefe was born in the colony of Queensland, Australia, on 12 January 1873. His parents had emigrated from Ireland in 1870.

Unusual motivation (white tempo) for the white second move. I am not a good solver. I enjoyed solving it, thanks to the 'not-indian' hint.
