Oct 4, 2017 at 23:32 comment added user80811 Good spot on the typo, Thanks. This prof doesn't seem to be the type of guy to mess with us like that though. Is there any application of boolean theories I'm missing that I could use implement this? I don't even need the answer, just a place to start. Thanks again.
Oct 4, 2017 at 19:57 comment added jonk I recall a large project where the assignment included a rather large notebook filled with project details. It was a real situation where client data had been meticulously documented and captured. Our job was to develop our own complete solution. Buried within the volumes of documentation was the phrase, "If you read this, be the first to tell the teacher and you will receive a gold coin." Still have the coin.
Oct 4, 2017 at 19:49 comment added Trevor_G @jonk ya, my prof regularly put little quirks like that in to make you question your own answer. I figured he knew that was part and parcel of being a good engineer.
Oct 4, 2017 at 19:47 comment added jonk I suppose it depends on the level of the course. So could be. (But it is like a joke that's only funny once.)
Oct 4, 2017 at 19:44 comment added Trevor_G @jonk :) LOL could be. Or it's a simple... make the student think with a "duh" example exercise. I swear they did that stuff on purpose.
Oct 4, 2017 at 19:41 comment added jonk I've a hunch that this trivial addition of a gate at the end to meet the requirements is likely to result in the addition of another rule banning the idea. But good catch on the error between the original equation and the so-called "manipulated" one!
