1. FOR BOARD n x n MOD m, WRITE A MATRIX THAT DESCRIBES THE MAPPING "VECTOR OF THE n^2 SQUARES YOU CLICK ON 0-(m-1) TIMES" -> "VECTOR OF THE n^2 SQUARES THAT HAVE THEIR STATES CHANGED 0-(m-1) STEPS FORWARD. CALL THIS MATRIX M.
2. INVERT THIS MATRIX MOD m.
3. NOW, GIVEN INITIAL POSITION VECTOR V, YOU WANT SOLUTION VECTOR U, SUCH THAT M*U + V = 0. SO YOUR SOLUTION VECTOR IS SIMPLY -V * M^-1.
4. NOW YOU HAVE SOLUTION TO ALL PROBLEMS IN O(n^6) TIME--OR AT ANY RATE THE TIME IT TAKES TO INVERT AN n^2 x n^2 MATRIX.
5. WONDER WHAT TO DO WHEN M DOESN'T HAVE AN INVERSE MOD m.
