Hard to explain because I'm still trying to figure out how to do it
myself. I'm trying to solve a little puzzle using Python, even though
I'm sure it's not necessary. Basically W, X, Y and Z are propositions
that are either true or false, and the puzzle lists a few statements
such as "Exactly one of X, Y and Z is true", and I'm trying to work out
a little algorithm that might test for this kind of stuff.
Another thing I'm trying to do is write a function that tests to see if
a list contains exactly one true item, and the rest are false (obviously
this would have to be a list of boolean values, I guess). I'm sure this
isn't a handy utility, but I enjoy figuring out how to implement it.
