“We didn’t want to inflate our valuation with circular investings, the market made us do it! We are the victims here!!”

Yet they never explicitly state you’re allowed to make convenient assumptions. If the bulb was out of hand’s reach the problem would be unsolvable.

Assuming the electrician that wired the switches is in the room would be even a more out-of-the-box solution.

The biggest flaw is that it assumes you’ll add conditions you’re not explicitly told are allowed. Many, many problems in school would be trivial if changing the terms beyond what’s stated was allowed.
