Question: Following rules / assumptions apply to this system: The system is driven by an internal clock signal. The balls are stacked in the storage column

Following rules/assumptions apply to this system:
The system is driven by an internal clock signal.
The balls are stacked in the storage column with a fixed color and number pattern (2
red balls, followed by 3 green balls, followed by 2 red balls, followed by 3 green
balls etc.)
Only one ball is released at the time by the mechanical valve.
The mechanical valve is fully manual, meaning there is no circuitry involved. It is
also assumed that the valve cannot be opened again until the previously released ball
passed fully through either channel R or G, was registered by a detector and the
trap door orientation was adjusted.
The detector has internal circuitry to produce a rising edge upon ball passing
through the channels. Therefore, the binary input to your circuit indicates the
presence of a rising edge on the input. Similarly, D indicates absence of a rising edge
on the input.
A trap door is controlled by the circuit output. When the output of the circuit is set to
0, the trap door is opened, allowing the balls to fall through to channel R. Similarly,
when the output of the circuit is 1, the trap door is closed, and the balls go into
channel G. Assume the trap door opens and closes instantaneously.
The system is initialized to =0, meaning the trap door is lowered to let balls pass
through to R channel
