New case is up. Logic gate puzzle is the 2nd one, and I'm promoting your puzzle in it because you did such a wonderful job explaining logic gates, much better than I ever could. :)

That was too easy, but considering I studied IT it's to be expected ;) Great to introduce simple binary logic to newbies tho, so GJ! :>

Thanks! At least you didn't find any huge mistakes in it. :) I was trying to make it more educational than difficult, to keep with the spirit of the event. So far a majority of participants have solved it, so I think it's not too difficult for the n00bs. Unless they were scared away and didn't even try. :P

well, I didn't read the introduction/guide part so there may be mistakes I didn't notice ;) I simply didn't need it ;)

only think I would do different in future would be making answers more complex ;) Q1,2,8,9 can be bruteforced without even thinking about them ;)

But surely people wouldn't ignore the mental challenge and just try to get free games on this site, right? :P

I have to admit I got through by applying my existing math knowledge logically (knowing nothing about logic gates and not bothering to read the wall of text) but I must've done something right to get through in the end :P thanks for the train!

I had trouble figuring out how to solve Question 3, then bang I realised I was stupud. Solved ther rest under 10 minutes tho.

P.S: The puzzle is nice overall, but focusing only on binary arithmetic and logic gates for a Computer Science themed puzzle is kind of, a bad move. I was expecting more like algorithms, languages, graph theory , networking or cryptography.

Thanks for the puzzle! I had to look up how to add, but everything else was easy enough and explained nicely (for the addition, I simply didn't realize I could just make it 9 digits long, I thought it had to be 8 max, and then the whole 1+1 thing didn't make sense anymore ^^)

I didn't quite get the binary addition, but after checking wikihow I finally understood what to do :P
