Very neat puzzle!

I thought it was going to be some sort of a silly trick puzzle or something like you did not [clearly] say it's white to move so just h6/g6/f7 + black to move on h8 = draw type thing. There's a legitimate answer. Feel bad about looking it up, but not a chance in a million I would've found it. Took a while to believe it even after seeing the answer!
Very nice. But this can't possibly be the only solution.. or is it?
@clutchnutz As per my knowledge only 1 position(setup) fulfiles all condition.( ofcourse you can arrange same position on other side of the board). so yes this position have only 1 answer
never heard of this, pretty neat :) I have found one setup, is it the only one? I wont post it so as not to spoil the fun, thx for sharing

edit: never mind I am braindead, I forgot something simple
