Lights

Source: Maths Jam
You have been taken captive and are blindfolded. There is a table in front of you with four lights on it. Some are on, some are off: you don't know how many and which ones. You need to get either all the lights on or all the lights off to be released. To do this, you can ask your captor to toggle the light switches of some of the lights. You captor will then rotate the table (so you don't know where the lights you toggled now are). Find a sequence of moves which will always lead to your release.
