That's a lot of transistors. Why do I feel it could be done in less? This is the absolute minimum number of Discrete transistors you need?

"In case it is not already obvious, efficiency and sensibility were not a top priority when working on this project. I am sure there are more efficient flip- flop designs or implementations with fewer transistors, especially by building composite gates that combine NAND and NOR gates, but I don't really care :)"
