What a great idea for an educational game. I hate to admit that I don't know or apply many of the less common binary operators, and this is a nice way to familiarize myself with them. That's pretty sad as I am a programmer by trade.
I also hate to admit that I had to save this game for later, as it is kind of late and my brain is definitely too low on juice to properly play it.
I am wondering if a progressive series of tutorial challenges could help people get used to thinking this way, especially with colors.
