thats not lego

[mlittman]

fixed, thanks

1+1=2 not 1

[mlittman]

1 plus 1 is 2, 1 or 1 is 1.

[CrazyMonkey124]

@mlittman In this case 1+1=10

[mlittman]

I don't think there's addition in the video, actually.

Now make a binary calculator out of domino logic gates!

@OscarOBerry Too many negative votes on this comment.....sad.

[vonGleichenT]

I'm way to dumb to understand this video.

Minecraft!



[rpg8778]

using those marble things do you think you could make a computer using logic gates like you do in minecraft with redstone logic gates?

@milittman Just YouTube 'Will It Blend? iPhone 4' or something.

[TheNewbSpawn]

@ZaffaroTV I believe you would call that an ALU.

@musicalmike235 On the contrary, a '|' symbol is used to denote "OR". Additionally, '!' is used for "NOT" and '&' for "AND".

There are 10 kinds of people: Those who understand binary and those who don't

@ZaffaroTV Actually, I have done this before. I made a full adder out of dominoes, and it was pretty cool, but not really worth the time setting it all up since you have to rebuild it each time.

@OscarOBerry actually, in boolean algebra, the + sign is used to represent "OR", 1 OR 1 = 1, therefore 1 + 1 = 1.
