Here's an interesting problem w/ Karnaugh Maps that 
isn't usually taught in undergrad digi design

supppose I have 3 variable x, y, and z
and they yield a function that generates a table
as such


x/y    00  01  11  10
---------------------
z 0    1   1   0   0
z 1    1   1   0   1

For what reason would I not want to use the equation

X'+Y'Z  by wrapping my loops around the 4 1's and
then the 101 and 100 "1".

????

Hint: Think DFT
