Gate Score: 2
Delay Score: 2
Tick Score: -

Description: the easiest cheese in the game. Also the level (not this solution though) shows that the XOR gate can be used to conditionally invert data.

Hint 1: ||The circuit does not reset between test cases||
Hint 2: ||There are two types of logic circuits: combinatorial and sequential||
Hint 3: ||You have recently got a new component...||

you essentially just need to notice that the output is the invert offset by 1

I think this is the only "intended" cheese in the game, as ||there is a special message if you beat the level that way||

#

Which is really nice

So... this breaks the second the tests change? So the "XOR" part is just ... a joke?

I think the "joke" is this 2 gate circuit passes the game's tests. You're correct, it will break the moment the tests change and doesn't actually do the job asked in the level log. Which is why this kind of solution that passes the tests but doesn't meet the requirements in the level log are considered cheese, and why most levels are designed in a such way that it's not possible to artificially reduce the score in this manner.
The XOR is the "normal" solution that works in general regardless of the order the inputs are provided.
I believe this one level is a nod to previous versions which had much looser/fewer tests and allowed this kind of shenanigans in more of the levels.

lol

It is related with ||how you get the best score possible||

#

So it makes sense
