-When multiple inputs control a single output, it may help to organize all of the possible combinations into a form known as a "truth table".  In a truth table, all possible combinations are summarized in a table of inputs, and the result is identified in an output column.
-When creating a truth table for binary conditions (like and on/off switch), it helps to follow a pattern.  This pattern is also common in binary codes.
-^  Inputs  ^^^  Output  ^
-|  Switch Positions  |||  Load Condition  |

-Can you find any patterns in the input columns of this truth table?
-Test each of the eight input conditions, and record the output result.
-Can you find any patterns in the output? Did you discover anything by using this table that you did not notice when you first explored the circuit boxes?
