On the Subject of Logical Buttons

Keep thinking logically and nobody explodes.

SEE APPENDIX LOGBTNSX100 FOR LOGIC GATE REFERENCES.

  • This module consists of 3 buttons, a stage counter and a screen stating a logic gate. To solve it you will have to go through 3 stages.
  • In each stage you will have to determine which of the buttons you will have to press based on their color, label, and the logic gate present.
  • If multiple buttons have to be pressed in a stage you will have to determine the order in which you must press them.
  • The buttons are numbered in reading order.
  • Both the label and the color of a button will hold a true/false value. Once you get both values you run them through the logic gate and get an answer.
  • If you get true, the button should be pressed and if you get false it shouldn’t.
  • If no button has to be pressed you must press the logic gate screen until you get a logic gate that allows you to press a button.
  • When the correct button(s) have been pressed the module will automatically proceed to the next stage.
  • If a correct button is pressed the border of the button will light up white.
  • B1,B2 and B3 are button 1, 2 and 3 respectively.

Determining values of colors/labels:

The value of the color/label is true if the condition is met.

Colors

  • Red - NO Blue button present.
  • Blue - 2 or more Blue buttons present.
  • Green - The previous button in reading order is Purple or White.
  • Yellow - This button’s label is NOT “Wrong” or “Logic”.
  • Purple - No buttons in Red, Yellow or Blue.
  • White - One or more buttons is in Red, Yellow or Blue.
  • Orange - B1 is NOT Orange.
  • Cyan - This button's label is "Logic", "Color", "Label" or "Wrong".
  • Gray - This button has the same label as another button.

Labels

  • “Boom” - 2 other buttons have the same color.
  • “Button” - The previous button in reading order’s label is NOT “Hmmm” or “No”.
  • “Color” - The button’s color is NOT Green, Yellow, or Orange.
  • “Hmmm” - B2’s color condition is true.
  • “Label” - B1’s label is NOT "Logic", "Color", "Label" or "Wrong".
  • “Logic” - NO Gray buttons.
  • “No” - This button’s color condition is false.
  • “Wait” - Stage number = 3.
  • “Wrong” - The next button in reading order has the same color as this one.

Determining order of presses:

Columns refer to which stage the module is in, rows refer to the arbitrary group that the present logic gate is in.

Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3
AND/OR/XOR B1,B2,B3 B2,B1,B3 B3,B2,B1
NAND/NOR/XNOR B3,B1,B2 B2,B3,B1 B1,B3,B2

Appendix LOGBTNSX100

Logic gates:

  • AND - True if both inputs are true
  • OR - True if either input is true
  • XOR - True if exactly one input is true
  • NAND - True if either input is false
  • NOR - True if both inputs are false
  • XNOR - True if both inputs are either true or false
