I’m very pleased with the cute problem by my dearest commentator, Seetharaman Kalyan! The problem is nice for solving, and if you’re going to solve then don’t read my text anymore, but go right to the problem below – see No.143!
But I’d like to quote the author here, who said that “Family vacation”  is what is happening in the problem. And one more author’s comment about solving, which made me smile – it was an answer to my idea to test this problem with WinChloe – “it will take 15 minutes ! you can solve in one minute.. This is one area where humans can beat the computer 🙂

I’d like to know who will solve it in one minute!

Hm…. Seems nobody tried to solve ! was hoping to get some views on whether the combination of two themes in this was novel or interesting.

I was delighted to find the solution. It took me some time.
Then I replaced bS with bR in order to add two moves, but I failed (because of a dual) and I admired again the economy of the construction.

Thanks! Yes. A black bRa7 will actually add one more switchback (not just moves) as bK will have to move to let bR move to b6, but the bK move back to c7 and the move Ba7 become interchangeable. Five switchbacks might be a task !

No.143 Seetharaman Kalyan
А very original series-mover! Here the main theme is Annihilation of Pa5, combined with beautiful maneuver of the black Queen which plays in every corner of the board, executing a Switchback! Of course, very fine are also the other switchbacks of Sa7, Bb8, Bc8. Bravo, Ram!

Thanks Prakash. I noticed this possibility while composing (before checking with Popeye). Luckily it took 17 moves! and later Popeye took an hour before declaring it sound.

Raju is part of a Whatsapp group and he gives helpmates for solving to the group members. They are usually solved correctly by nearly 20 solvers most of the time. He gave the above serieshelpmate for solving to the group and 7 solvers found the solution and liked it.

I hope some of them take more interest (like Mr.Prakash) and hopefully take to looking at other problem types and perhaps composing also !! Thank you Julia.
