Let me find a simple example:
$Q$: Q is inside the box
$R$: R is inside the box
$S$: S is inside the box
$T$: T is inside the box
Now if I want to express this: "If character $Q$ is inside the box, then at least two of the other characters are inside the box."
How can I do this correctly and short? I think the "at least" I can force it with logic AND. I need to AND all possible combinations and put an OR in between them:
$$Q \rightarrow ((R \wedge S \wedge T) \vee (R \wedge S) \vee (R \wedge T) \vee (S \wedge T))$$
My question is, can I do this any shorter? Maybe there is a formula to do it when a task asks me something like that for "at least $n$"?
You can also say
$$Q\implies \Bigl((R\wedge S \wedge T)\text{ xor } \lnot R \text{ xor } \lnot S \text{ xor } \lnot T\Bigr)$$
