I mean e6 instead of g6
White will simply push f7 and that's a checkmate!

First sentence immediately contradicts the title "Impossible Puzzle to solve for humans" with the statement "you won't be able to solve with the engine." How about some bare minimum proofreading before hitting publish?
My bad. I will take care of that next time.

I think "white to move" is missing in the problem text

otherwise 8/8/4PkP1/8/8/7P/8/K7 b - - works as well

This puzzle is incredibly simply that its stupid. Just stack 3 pawns H765 and King at H8, put white King on A1, done easy draw.

As soon as you introduce the rule that you cannot stack pawns, then you're literally just spacing them in a configuration where all 3 can be taken before being able to promote.

Found second solution. It starts before last move
