    "Lights Out" is a mathematical puzzle that lives on an grid where each cell of the grid is one of two colors: either red or white.

To me, this game feels like playing with a Rubik's cube --- every time you think you are fixing one cell, you mess up its neighbors! There are many ways to arrive at a solution... some mathematical (linear algebra, or combinatorics), others more logical,... and yet…
