Consider a system with 8 boolean variables (A through H).
For each of the 256 possible states:
1. Determine if the state satisfies: (A AND B) OR (C AND NOT D)
   OR (E XOR F) OR (G IMPLIES H)
2. For each satisfying state, enumerate all minimal subsets
   of variables that, if flipped, would make it unsatisfying
3. For each such subset, determine if any other currently
   unsatisfying state would become satisfying
4. Provide a complete dependency graph of state transitions
 
Show all work step by step.

Find a 5-digit number that simultaneously satisfies ALL conditions:
1. The sum of digits is 23
2. The product of the first and last digits is 24
3. Each digit is unique
4. The number is divisible by 7 but not by 3
5. The second digit minus the fourth digit equals the third digit
6. No digit is 0 or 1
7. Reading the digits backward gives a prime number
8. The number formed by digits 2,3,4 is a perfect square
