Alternatively using z3 [0]:
(declare-const a1 Bool)
(declare-const a2 Bool)
(declare-const a3 Bool)
(declare-const a4 Bool)
(declare-const a5 Bool)
(declare-const a6 Bool)
(assert (= a1 (and a2 (and a3 (and a4 (and a5 a6))))))
(assert (= a2 (not (or a3 (or a4 (or a5 a6))))))
(assert (= a3 (and a1 a2)))
(assert (= a4 (or a1 (or a2 a3))))
(assert (= a5 (not (or a1 (or a2 (or a3 a4))))))
(assert (= a6 (not (or a1 (or a2 (or a3 (or a4 a5)))))))
(assert (or a1 (or a2 (or a3 (or a4 (or a5 a6))))))
(check-sat)
(get-model)
(exit)
The model is satisfiable where only a5 is true, anyone can run it themselves and play with it [1].
Additionally forcing a5 to be false by adding the following to the list of assertions:
(assert (not a5))
And the model becomes unsatisfiable.
Edit: Finally, to make sure there's not some possible solution where a5 is true as well as another assertion you could alternatively add this assertion:
(assert (and a5 (or a1 (or a2 (or a3 (or a4 (or a6)))))))
And the model also becomes unsatisfiable. So 5 only seems to be the correct answer.

- Recursing 7y agoI posted a solution using the python z3 library, which might be easier to use for people used to python, here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21545143 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21545143
