Uhhh... hey ATOT, I guess it was about time that I joined. =P

You take 2 4 variable Karnaugh Maps. So each Karnaugh Map will have AB/XY on the borders. For the first one you just say Z = 0 and the second one Z=1. So if you had to do logic reductions by circling, you can circle in 3d now.

As far as I can tell, you can make a 4x4x4 cube K-map and that's up to 6 variables, anything larger is kinda beyond K-maps.
