:::: I reread the title and task description and took a look at the Wolfram article and the wp article and I think it would be difficult for someone to confuse the meaning of this page and what is required to solve it. If a mathematician is used to many valued logics then the fact that only two values are mentioned in the description should be enough to set them straight (although it would be odd that the mathematician not know that the two valued set is the default in most computer languages). I woulf go along with those that want to keep this description but who are not averse to seeing a task in other-valued Boolean logic. (Being obscure, this other task may need careful explanation). --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 12:11, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

::::: This is not about "many valued logics". If you want to deal with "many valued logics" you might be using a container which holds multiple logical values. Or, you might be using "fuzzy logic" where logical values are represented using a fractional value in the range [0..1] instead of a single bit.
