On the Subject of Bitwise Operations

Nobody’s favorite kind of math. Who even likes math, anyway?

  • Use the two bytes obtained from the tables below, and the operator from the display, to determine the answer.
Byte 1 Byte 2
No AA Batteries ≥ 1 D battery
Parallel port ≥ 3 ports
Lit NSA ≥ 2 battery holders
# Of modules > Starting timeLit BOB
≥ 2 Lit Indicators ≥ 2 unlit indicators
Modules ÷ 3 Last SN digit is odd
≤ 1 D battery Even # of modules
≤ 3 ports ≥ 2 batteries

This module includes needy modules when it refers to the number of modules.

Here is a table of explanations of each bitwise operator:

Info AND OR XOR NOT
HOW B1 correct + B2 correct = 1, otherwise 0. B1 correct OR B2 correct = 1, otherwise 0. EXACTLY 1 Byte correct = 1, otherwise 0. Ignore B2. B1 correct = 0, otherwise 1.

(Bytes are referred to as “B1” and “B2” respectively.)
