GOOGLE says:
In this position it is not appropriate to rearrange the position. The d4 field to the solver may seem like a cage for the black king.
Happy to quote his problem here: wfcc.ch/.../...
"It is easy even for a beginner solver to see that black king cannot get to d4 in five moves"
While this is true, I think the change suggested by Bilokin is minor and does not make any big improvement.
Google translation:
It was not my intention to improve the problem but to maximise the use of the board.
