Welcome to Emoticon Zendo Game 177!
Many thanks to

for the previous game!
To see a list of all the games, see the Emoticon Zendo Wiki. (Everyone is encouraged to keep the wiki page up to date, especially those who master or win a game.)
The game is finished. Congratulations to

on having guessed the rule correctly.
Consider the Spock rule.
Emoticon Zendo Rules:
-All BGG users start with exactly one guessing token.
-There is no "Mondo" -- there is only "Master" and guessing
-There are no turns, but no one user may do "master" (asking about a koan) two consecutive times (i.e. he must wait for another player to do "master" in between), unless 24 hours have passed without another player doing a "master". A user may "guess" the rule twice consecutively only if there was a "master" from another user, and at least an hour has passed since the first guess. A user may do a "master" and then make a guess consecutively.
-The null koan is allowed in Emoticon Zendo. Use the word "null" to indicate a koan with no emoticons.
-Your first guess is free. Additional guesses cost 1 GeekGold (except see below). The GG should be submitted as a tip to this thread. The student with the first correct guess (the winner) will win all the GG as a prize.
-If you have already made at least one guess, but more than 48 hours has passed since your last guess, you may make another guess without paying the 1 GG fee.
-Please thumb the main thread if you participate.
-It is customary that the student who reaches enlightenment on this game, is the master for the next game. If unable or unwilling to perform that function, please signal the master of this game.
-"Buddha" is not spelled "Buddah". 
Emoticon Zendo Conventions:
-Koans are built from a single line of emoticons. No letters/numbers/etc.
-The 2nd emoticon from the left is in 'position #2', etc.
-I will use  and  to answer each "master", so please don't use these emoticons in your Koan.
Here is an example of a Koan of length 4 which has a smiley face in position #3:
   
_____________________________________________________________________
Koans that do have the Buddha-nature ( )
    (given)
   (counterexample)
 
  
 
(null)
_____________________________________________________________________
Koans that do not have the Buddha-nature ( )
(given)
_____________________________________________________________________
Total koans: 19
