Where are you stuck?

$A\smile B= A\overline{B}$

Apply that to the function, have you had previous examples of applying logic to a function?

well i tried to simplify the function.
I got F(x,y,z) = xy + xz'

but i dont know how to continue...

You did well simplifying the function. Your task from now on is to convert any single operation to a smile operation. Start with a factorization.

Here are some hints:
a+b'=(a'b)'
x'=(x'1)

Can you figure it out?

You can still simplify that function actually... there's one common letter there

After that you shall see a pattern which Georacer already wrote.

Also remember that : A'B = BA'

Cheers <= Smile function for you

Don't give up yet. Try a bit more. You have problems doing the factorization? Finding the part to be substituted?

Post any scribbles you have done, even if they are completely wrong. Don't let a good thread end without a closure.

OK...
but please dont laugh at me...

i thought maybe to put the x out and then to play a little with the y

maybe to do some demorgan.

but the Q is what to do with the +

There it is.

Put X out, then you'll get X(Y + Z')

See any resembelance with what Georacer has typed?

Don't forget that your is A'B, same as BA', same as X'Y, YX', etc...

so, tell me if im right

now i got X(y'z)'

and put this in circuit :

X1 = X'
YZ = Y'Z
Y'Z1 = (Y'Z)'
X'Y'Z = X''(Y'Z)'

X''(Y'Z)' = X(Y+Z')

Am I right?
This is the solution?

Not quite.
Y'Z1 = (Y'Z)' is correct only with parentheses: (Y'Z)1 = (Y'Z)' and
X'Y'Z = X''(Y'Z)' is wrong.
You have also written down some unneded equations. So let's sum it up:

xy+xz'=
x(y+z')=
x(y'z)'=
(y'z)'x=
...

Can you take it from here and substitute for the operation? Make one step at a time and start from inside out.

From the original question, the solution should have the operator only, so go through the steps to substitute it, and leave it (and ONLY the ) in for the final solution.

sorry but im lust again...
I feel so

What i need is to figure out how to get
X(Y'Z)' by input to a gate only two variables?

with no other gates?
just ONE AND ONLY gate?

As I read it, you can use all the gates you want, but you aren't allowed to have an inverter.
