How to unlock the Boolean Logic achievement in The Turing Test - Definitive Guide

Optional Puzzle 6 - Sector F56 - [6:59]
This puzzle requires some basic knowledge of boolean logic gates, and how they work. The symbols can be found below:

Legend:
V - Or
∧ - And
⊕ - Either or (but not both)
¬ - Negation (true if condition is false)

Grouping is very important here. 8 slots have 4 pairs. 4 pairs make 2 halves. Both halves are joined to create the answer and decide the outcome (True or False). Make sure you are solving each individual pair, and then work into halves and the whole.

You can solve the conditions of each room to make the entire gate true or use the video to the quick solutions to each room and some explanations of how the mechanics work.

For anyone who just wants the answer, the gates are as follows:

O = Orb
X = Empty

Gate 1: X X X X X X X O
Gate 2: O O O O O O O O
Gate 3: X X X X X O X X
Gate 4: X O O O X O O O
Gate 5: O X O X O X X O
Gate 6: X O X O X O X O
Gate 7: X O X O X O X O
Gate 8 (After going through the grid, and getting more blue balls): O X X O X O O X

One thing I'll add that might screw people up. If you are holding a 'spare' orb in your gun, you can't pass by that last door. Get rid of the orb somewhere and you'll be able to pass through just like in the video.

I blitzed through this part in minutes without knowing diddly squat about what I was doing. The end got me for like 15 minutes until I realised I had an orb in my gun :D

Damn, i knew nothing about this. Somehow i brute forced it in about 10 minutes. Even on the last one, i just randomly guessed to alternate colors and the door opened for me.

The sigh seems unnecessarily snarky. Maka made a video guide that shows you exactly what you're supposed to do to get the achievement.

I like the video, but I think Dwaggie's solution is more straightforward.

Is there a specific item I need to interact with in the art room? I have done this four times now and the achievement still won't pop.

Done this twice now and it won't unlock. Anything special to do in the room?

Wouldn't unlock for me first time.

I quit to dashboard, reloaded the game, and it popped. Didn't do anything different, I assume its just buggy.

Mine didn't unlock the first time. Thought maybe I missed something. Reloaded area and did it again, and voila achievement unlocked.

If the achievement did not pop up for you there is a quick and simple solution:
1. Stay in the art room.
2. Pause the game.
3. Logout the profile from the dashboard with Xbox button.
4. Login back to your profile.
5. Return to the game.
6. Resume the game.
7. You should be at the same point you paused the game and the achievement should pop up this time.

I was able to figure out what this puzzle was asking with some trial and error, but the negation symbols on the last lock just aren't very noticeable; I thought it was a whole line of And operators so I was forced to look up the solution. I think this would have been a really great puzzle if they had made the negation symbols more clear.

Thank you for explaining the reasoning behind the puzzle as well, I was able to use the solution as more of a hint.

Thanks Knoell.

If it doesn’t pop completely shut down game and replay. It popped for me.

Yeah I had an issue with this achievement popping as well; tried signing out but it wasn’t doing the trick. Once I shut down the game and tried the puzzle again, the achievement unlocked. Must be bugged

The Maka91Productions video guide is good. I had no problems doing the logic gates myself although those NOT symbols in the penultimate room are easily missed and the green/magenta orbs are just a misleading distraction since you don't have to do anything with them!

Thank fucking god you're actually explaining the logic behind those operators. I studied electrical engineering and I actually used what I knew about AND, OR, NAND, and XOR logical operators to solve this puzzle on my own. It felt so satisfying hahah.

I've seen some other guides simply show you the solution which is not giving this wonderful puzzle the respect it deserves. So good on you Maka.

It took me around 45 minutes, because in the last section I didn't look closely enough to realize that there was a mix of AND and NAND operators.

For anyone who wants the answer without watching a minutes-long video, here's the solution:

O = Orb
X = Empty

Gate 1: X X X X X X X O
Gate 2: O O O O O O O O
Gate 3: X X X X X O X X
Gate 4: X O O O X O O O
Gate 5: O X O X O X X O
Gate 6: X O X O X O X O
Gate 7: X O X O X O X O
Gate 8 (After going through the grid, and getting more blue balls): O X X O X O O X

Hi,
something that's natural to me for a change. So I was wondering what went wrong here.

Gate 8 (After going through the grid, and getting more blue balls): O X X O X O O X

Pfew, logic done right. dance How to get more balls is my problem.

I'm sorry, I'm not sure if you're asking me a question of how to get more of the orbs?

Hi, I had enough. I didn't spot that the final "AND chain" has NOTed bits.
Happy weekend wave

Nice fast solution.

A couple comments, gleaned from the Walkthrough: If you have any energy balls in your gun, you can't go through a force field after Gate 7. Maybe your solution uses up all balls for Gates 1-7, but I had one extra by solving my own way. I had to discard it.

Also, for those solving on their own, Gate 7 has Not symbols that are hard to notice.

I don't know if something changed...but it felt like the final 4 were all just every other (or one of the pair), again and again. That is BASICALLY what you have anyway, minus 5 and 8.
