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.
