But just two questions: 1. what's so special about NAND gates compared to other logic gates? and 2. Can each gate only accept two inputs or any number?
At the risk of ruining part of Rhythm's fun, I can answer that question:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAND_gate Wrote:The NAND gate is significant because any boolean function can be implemented by using a combination of NAND gates. This property is called functional completeness.

My cleverly pre-emptive post was rudely pre-empted by the guy I was trying to pre-empt. Get a life, Rhythm!
