I had to break out the paper for 3+ light bulb puzzles.

It would be great to mark which options aren't valid on the website. Maybe a checkbox UI for the more challenging puzzles? Where we can mark a checkbox for entries that aren't the right answer and choose the correct one with the dropdown?

Thanks for the feedback! Do you mean a custom dropdown with checkboxes inside?

BTW, it's completely normal to use paper/pencil while you're getting the hang of it.

I think for difficulty 4+ pen & paper is necessary because there are too many constraints to consider, so I made myself a small helper based on rlorenzo's comment [0]

Wow, that's great! Loved the way you coded it in pure JS.
