Doorbell Challenge
Mrs Mackity has recently built a new house which has a front door and a back door.
Unfortunately, she has very little budget as she spent it all on the gardens. She cannot afford to
buy two door bells so she would like to install a door bell which can be rung by either the front
or the back door.
Can you design a circuit with two switches representing the buttons for the doorbells and a
single light bulb which represents the door bell.
Draw it in the diagram below.
