Lights Out is a logic game wherein all lights need to be turned off to complete each board. See the first problem in the series for an introduction.

This problem contains boards that each require ten moves to solve. For example, if

 board = [0 1 1 0 1  
          1 1 1 1 1  
          1 1 1 1 1  
          1 1 1 1 1  
          0 1 1 0 1]

an answer is:

 moves = [1 2 3 4 5 16 17 18 19 20]

Prev.: 5x5, 8 moves — Next: 5x5, 13 moves

@goc3
A piece of advice, measure the running time(using tic, toc, for example) in the test suit to see which solution is fast.

@li haitao: I got 3.838179s (total time for test suite) for William's solution and 0.986936s (1/4 the time) for your sped-up version. Impressive.

i am surprised about the fact that some test admit a shorter solution than 10 moves :S
