Hi group, it's somewhat OT here, but I have a puzzle to which I would like a solution -- but I'm unsure how I should tackle the problem with Python. But it's a fun puzzle, so maybe it'll be appreciated here.
The question is: How do you design a boolean circuit that contains at most 2 NOT gates, but may contain as many AND or OR gates that inverts three inputs? IOW: Build three inverters by using only two inverters (and an infinite amount of AND/OR). Surprisingly, this is possible (and I even know the solution, but won't give it away just yet). I found this puzzle again and was thinking about: How would I code a brute-force approach to this problem in Python? And to my surprise, it isn't as easy as I thought. So I'm looking for some advice from you guys (never huts to improve ones coding skills). Best regards, Johannes -- >> Wo hattest Du das Beben nochmal GENAU vorhergesagt? > Zumindest nicht öffentlich!
