Since Eric Angelini appears to be bored, here's a composition challenge:

Compose an at-home proof game in 7.0 moves or less where either all the
white pieces or all the black pieces are on the board. In other words, an
at-home PG in 7.0 moves or less that is (16+x) or (x+16), where x < 16.

According to my computer there is only one such proof game.

Examples in 7.5 and 8.0 moves have been composed by Henrik Juel and Andrew
Buchanan:
