Ahah, your comment has the same vibe as this great fiction of how would Richard Feynmann pass a "lateral-thinking puzzle" interview question.

Switch one receives a green cable, light C in the room has a green cable, Switch two has a yellow cable, same as light A in the room...

The other day, when I was at a museum, I had to solve this particular problem. You see I really needed to get inside the room and move around after hours.

I spent a whole month making friends with the guards, only to have them change shift at the last minute. Thankfully, my cohort pointed out I could wear a reflective suit. All is well that ends well!

Wear a full suit of armor made out of mirrors.

Shoot the shooter before the shooter shoots you.

Break the mirrors.

I guess, you would need (at least) four times sixteen, that is 64, blockers.

Calm down, Alexander! ;)

Turn off the power.
