#227:(silver ivy set) NAND
The card is made up off NAND gates connected in such a way as to create 8 outputs from three inputs.
I dont own this card but I solved it.
could someone try my solution:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
i copied the circuit into a simulation program and tried every possible combination of inputs:
Input Output
000 01000101
001 01001100
010 01000101
011 01010000
100 01001000
101 01000001
110 01001110
111 01010100
The outputs spelt ELEPHANT in binary code

Could someone please post the format of the answer box on the website.
I dont want to know the answer, but i want to know what they are asking for (e.g. truth tables)
Thanks

Can I get someone to tell me what the inputs of the 4th from bottom NAND gate are, it's upper input isn't clear on the scan! Thanks.

Lovely puzzle - first silver I've solved without help too

Oh, and interestingly enough, initially I got the inputs for the 4th from bottom NAND wrong and it only mattered for the input 011, giving you elethant!

I think Elephant was a good start, furthermore though, what needs to be done, is we need to figure out what is in t he background, what it has to do with electircal circuits, and elephants. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT lol
