AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on simplifying a K-map and whether the provided solution is in its simplest form. Participants agree that the K-map allows for circling adjacent squares multiple times, which can lead to additional simplifications. One user acknowledges a mistake in their initial diagram and expresses frustration over the oversight. The simplified expression derived from the K-map is noted as BC + AB + AC. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of correctly grouping terms in K-maps for simplification.

My answer would be no, it is not. For the K-Map, circled numbers may be circled again. You can circle in groups of 2 or 4. Thus you can circle as well slots 6-7 and 7-8 in addition to 3-7. Assuming a numbering from 1-8 of the cells left to right then top to bottom.
 
re

I agree, you can circle adjacent squares more than once. How many more can you find?
 
ahh, i can't believe i did that, and i freaking drew everything, the diagram,etc, f word. Thanks! I got: BC + AB + AC
