Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A bit inverter Turing machine, which flips the bits of a binary input (turning 0s into 1s and 1s into 0s), can be designed with a single state (excluding the halt state). This is because the machine only needs to read a bit, write the opposite bit, move to the next position, and repeat this process until it encounters a blank symbol indicating the end of the input.
