Riddle:
For the holidays, a Christmas tree was adorned with 100 lights. The lights were numbered from 1 through 100. A controller was programmed to apply a switching algorithm on every step: the light that was on is turned off, and vice versa. The algorithm works in a sequence. First, it turned all lights on. It then applied to the even numbers, then to the multiples of 3, next to the multiples of 4, and so on. What is the probability that a randomly selected light will be on after 100 steps of the algorithm?
