Anyone well versed on digital logic?

You know I'm studying this kinda stuff..
But I didn't even understand the question :(

Say I've got all kinds of gates and NANDs and ORs and shit. How do I know if its the most efficient circuit? Are there any rules for simplifying stuff down?
 
The shortest distance between two points is a straight line.
 
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
 
An object at rest tends to stay at rest. An object in motion tends to stay in motion
 
I have a buddy here at work thats a whiz with eletronic stuff like that, but hes away from his desk atm
Ill try him agian later or tomorrow if you still need help.
If he knows anything about it you can tag up with him via email
 
The Karnaugh map comprises a box for every line in the truth table; the binary values above the boxes are those associated with the a and b inputs. Unlike a truth table, in which the input values typically follow a standard binary sequence (00, 01, 10, 11), the Karnaugh map's input values must be ordered such that the values for adjacent columns vary by only a single bit, for example, 00, 01, 11, and 10. This ordering is known as a gray code, and it is a key factor in the way in which Karnaugh maps work.

You're really good at googling. Thanks.
 
karnaugh map is right for simplifying logic actually, so long as its not too big . so if its smallish have a crack at it yourself and i'll break out the books to help if you want
