go to http://www.crackthecircuit.com and complete as many of the 18 levels as you can. in OneNote on the Crack the Circuit page, show a screenshot of which circuit represents an AND gate where a light is on only if both switches are closed, If you cannot complete them all, show the highest level you achieved and explain why you got stuck there.
