and the

Temple of Boom!









In the year 2000, Lucas Arts Films is scheduled to release the fourth movie in the series of Indiana Jones adventures. Really--I am not making this up...check it out here! There is a computer and video game of Indiana Jones adventures (you can download a trial version at Lucas_Arts Entertainment) and they are beginning to make plans to update the game based on the new movie. The problem for this module is to help them out with one of the features of the video game.

Here's the deal!:

In the new Indy Jones video game, suppose the authors want to build in a specific feature in one of the game's action "rooms" or "scenes". The authors want the game to have a trap in this room where, if certain conditions are met, a bomb explodes in the room and the player dies, thus losing his/her turn. But we have to be slick about it...we have to make sure that whatever conditions that trigger the bomb explosion appear to be random; yet, it is not random at all.

Your job is to build a logic circuit that will trigger the bomb explosion in the video game. Can you handle the task, or does Indiana find someone else brave enough to handle the task? If you are ready to tackle this task, click below to begin your adventure into the world of logic, circuits, and Indiana Jones!
