This will produce pairs of the same Digit. It might sometimes be useful
to produce two different digits, but that's probably only slightly more
complicated as well. For instance, with 0 and 1 inputs,
11 * (1 + 4X + 2Y + Z) + 1
will produce any of (1,2) (2,3) (3,4) (4,5) (5,6) (6,7) (7,8) (8,9)
depending on the pattern of inputs.
This assumes you have 0 and 1 farms. But I imagine it can be adjusted
for other farms.
Trivially so; if you have M and N farms, then replace X with X-M
and Y with Y-N.
In most cases, Zefram's formula for producing pairs of digits would
be strong enough to dominate, and 2^3 is close enough to 10 that two
0-farms, two 1-farms, and one of Zefram's formulas would pretty much
let you produce any pair you want during a given week.
