One approach to handling fuzzy logic data might be to design a computer using ternary (base-$3$) logic so that data could be stored as “true,” “false,” and “unknown.” If each ternary logic element is called a flit, how many flits are required to represent at least $256$ different values?

  1. $4$
  2. $5$
  3. $6$
  4. $7$
