You mean NAND gates?

(Trick NAND Trick) NAND (Treat NAND Treat) <-> Trick or Treat

pretty sure both work

NAND and XOR aren't equivalent, though

| X | Y | X NAND Y |
| 0 | 0 | 1        |
| 1 | 0 | 1        |
| 0 | 1 | 1        |
| 1 | 1 | 0        |

| X | Y | X XOR Y |
| 0 | 0 | 0       |
| 1 | 0 | 1       |
| 0 | 1 | 1       |
| 1 | 1 | 0       |

& XOR can be reduced to NAND; not sure if NAND can be reduced to XOR

@walthervonstolzing @AntiOutsideAktion

If ya'll get bored and wanna read more about this, this is a property called functional completeness. I'm pretty sure nand and nor are the only functionally complete binary operators, so xor shouldn't be functionally complete.
