#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

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

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
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
