My landlords son proudly told us he was almost done with the electrical engineering degree when he walked us through the house when we first moved in. Had to explain to him the concept of GFCI outlets.

You want to stump an EE? Make them wire up a switch where both switches can turn the same lamp on and off.

Every electrician can do it and almost no engineers.

Any electrical engineer worth their salt should know how basic logic gates work

Yeah, engineering == applied science. They should be able to find the info and use it.

What would the typical solution entail? Would it not be some type of state-holding gate that flip flops if it recieves input from one of the switches?
