White is not allowed to castle.
Black may castle :-)

Noroc wins. White cant castle. I hope this riddle leads to a willingness to use fen notation

Why doesn't white castle??

rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w kq - 0 1

The lower case letters refer to black. at the end it says w kq - 0 1

w means it is whites turn.
kq means black can castle king side or queen side. A normal game starts KQkq.
- means enpassent is possible on no square
0 I think means 0 moves applicable to the 50 move draw rule.
1 means first move of game.

After moving c2-c4 the enpassant token is written as:
c3
Why not shorter c?
We know black has to move next, so enpassant can only be on row 3!

Instead of
b kq c3 0 1

Shorter
b kq c 0 1
