This is very important.

As it stands im sure I have it and im going well with my degree~ 3 year long Computing degree, BCS (Bachelor of Computing Systems) although I still procrasticante like a boss sometimes and within the next few months ill be having final exams and all that. Then my first year will be over D:

That scares the hell outta me how 1 year has passed so quickly and that I only have 2 years left on the degree.

I wish you luck Tetris! Wee are in the same position essentially, battling with our degrees.

I liked logic class. Got 100% without studying at all.

Dayum~! That's really good.

 I always considered you a genius Zinga, what with starting this site and all, so it's not a big surprise :P

Yeah propositional logic is pretty easy, predicate logic is iffy as hell though, specially when the teacher asks a bunch of stuff when you've only had a day to go over the material.

Like special cases when a universal quantifier doesn't consider a value being itself and what "your statement means" sort-of-poo poo. I have to say I'm struggling with it atm.

Supposedly people are throwing around the rumors that proofs are really hard, though I haven't got to the point where they say "prove x is greater than this and lower than this" type of stuff.

I really love logic class though, specially when you build circuits that calculate different things by 1's and 0's

You're a pretty cool guy Tetris. I sincerely wish you the best of luck in school.

Thanks eku, you seem like a pretty cool guy too, hopefully all of this knowledge will come to use someday and I can start writing stuff for the community like Zinga or any of the other coders.

 Though they all did it at a very young age, or the age I'm at now, so you can figure why they had the time to do so, I don't think a 20+ year old would. In short, I'm nothing special :(

Not really, you just need to do some programming and daisy chain a heap of logical statements together to look 1337. Also make sure to use confusing variable names like "foo" and "lolz". In reality this is a bad idea since it makes it more difficult for someone else to understand your code, and also more prone to error but I still do it nonetheless.
End result is that it's much easier to work out complex logic statements.

Haven't done this in years, but if it's what I recall, these things are kinda like solving a maze.

Essentially leads on to assembly code.
Use logic gates to make certain function circuits, eg add two numbers together; put a few together and you have an arithmetic logic unit (the "brains" of a CPU).
