Did they use, "either," or another indicator of exclusivity?

Nope. Just "or".

My fault for not learning about Boolean operators earlier.

A student tour guide at MIT was trying to be funny and said "YY chromosomes".

I heard Minecraft actually provides good practice for Boolean circuit design. I wonder if it is true or if it is merely an attempt to compete with Dwarf Fortress.

The funny (and sad) thing is that I am continually compelled to do impractical things (for the short run) by whatever mechanism provides that euphoria after AP tests and understanding intriguing concepts. :lol:

Same here.
Less than 3 days until the AP Calculus BC exam and I'm still hanging around the Internet.

I suppose procrastination is one way to see it. I see it as doing interesting things before they start to seem mundane.

I had to exercise tremendous amounts of self-control to keep my eyes glued to my calculus book for even a minute.
