It follows that switch d is connected to light bulb 5 and switch f is connected to light bulb 2.

Switch light bulbs math. Stay 1 step ahead of the light switch. The total number of on lights from initial n bulbs is. So for each switch to have a different number you need at least n digits for each of them. Similarly using our second observation with our third observation we can conclude that switch a must be connected to light bulb 4.

3 enters and flips the switch on every third bulb changing the state on bulbs 3 6 9. Each bulb is numbered consecutively from 1 to 100. So when σ 0 n is odd the light is on when even off. Switch on number 2.
