For Puzzle 1 (Mode 1), you should see buttons numbers 11, 13, 14, 15, and 17 lit up on your display.

Since your goal is to shut off the lights in the fewest moves possible, you will need to decide which buttons to press. Remember, each button press effects the surrounding buttons, so play your moves carefully. For example, if button 14 is pressed, all of the lights on the cube will be shut off. Congratulations...you just solved PUZZLE 1.

LOOPING-

Since the CUBE is 3-dimensional, you have to consider the LOOPING feature that creeps up in more advanced puzzles. In a typical puzzle, you'll see that pressing a button has an effect on adjacent lights. But, since this is a cube, buttons on the outer rows of each side "wrap-around" to the next side. So, a button on the right side of FACE 3 is also adjacent to buttons on FACE 2, and possibly FACE 5 if its in the top row. Keep this in mind when solving a puzzle. You'll soon find yourself twisting and turning the cube to "chase" the lights until they are all out.
