What is the simplest form of A'B'C' + A'B'C + A'BC' + AB'C'
? I've tried doing it using both K-map and Boolean algebra rules but they gave me different answers!

What about this?
A'B' + A'C' + B'C'
or
A'B' + (AB)'C'
The Karnaugh map:
bc
00 01 11 10
+---+---+---+---+
0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
a +---+---+---+---+
1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
+---+---+---+---+

The simplest form that I can find is
A'B'C' + A'B'C + A'BC' + AB'C'
A'B'(C'+C) + (A'B + AB')C'
A'B'(1) + (A'B + AB')C'
A'B' + (A'B + AB')C'
which is
A'B' + (A XOR B)C'
