It’s generally pretty easy to tell how cooked a steak is by the texture. Any point between blue and rare would probably the most difficult.

And how tight they feel. You can use your own hand and fingers as a guide. My (chef) father taught me this as a kid.

Yup, I use this all the time. Interestingly I use the back of my hand though. Same concept, just back of hand.

I’d guess this is a joke but I have definitely seen servers carry little flashlights for just this purpose at sim steakhouses before

Because if they turn up the lights the building explodes… or something.

If you need bright lights to be able to tell if a steak is cooked properly then you probably have never had a good steak cooked properly.
