$1\mathrm{.}29*$ Decode the following ASCII code:

$1010011111010011001011110110110010101000001001010110111111000101110011.$

$2\mathrm{.}1$ Demonstrate the validity of the following identities by means of truth tables:

$($a$)$ DeMorgan's theorem for three variables: $(x+y+z{)}^{\text{'}}=x^{\text{'}}{y}^{\text{'}}{z}^{\text{'}}$ and $(xyz{)}^{\text{'}}=x^{\text{'}}+y^{\text{'}}+z^{\text{'}}$

$($b$)$ The distributive law: $x+yz=(x+y)(x+z)$

$($c$)$ The distributive law: $x(y+z)=xy+xz$

$($d$)$ The associative law: $x+(y+z)=(x+y)+z$

$($e$)$ The associative law and $x(yz)=(xy)z$

$2\mathrm{.}4$ Reduce the following Boolean expressions to the indicated number of literals:
