Chapter 1.3, Problem 72E

We now present a group of exercises that involve the logical operatorsNANDandNOR. The propositionp NAND q, is true when eitherporq, or both, are false; and it is false when bothpandqare true. The propositionp NOR qis true when bothpandqare false, and it is false otherwise. The propositionsp NAND qandp NOR qare denoted by $p|q$

$p\downarrow q$, respectively. (The operators |and $\downarrow$are called theSheffer strokeand thePeirce arrowafter H. M. Sheffer and C. S. Peirce, respectively.)

*72. Explain the steps in the construction of the compound proposition given in the text asserts that each of the nine $3\times 3$blocks of a $9\times 9$Sudoku puzzle contain every number.
