Let x,yx , y , and zz represent the votes of the three people on the committee with a variable taking the value 1 if the vote is affirmative and the value 0 if the vote is negative. The circuit should produce an output of 1 if and only if not all three of the variables have the same value. The function f(x,y,z)=(xyz+xˉyˉzˉ)f ( x , y , z ) = \overline { ( x y z + \bar { x } \bar { y } \bar { z } ) } gives this output. Hence we can use the following circuit.  Let  x , y , and  z  represent the votes of the three people on the committee with a variable taking the value 1 if the vote is affirmative and the value 0 if the vote is negative.

The function  f ( x , y , z ) = \overline { ( x y z + \bar { x } \bar { y } \bar { z } ) }  gives this output. Hence we can use the following circuit.
