Master, I have a guess:

A Koan has the Buddha-nature if (and only if)...
Spoiler (click to reveal)
...it contains an emoticon whose value is equal to the number of animated emoticons in the koan.



Thanks to Juomes for Game 120!


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.)!

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). 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.
-Your first guess is free. Additional guesses cost 1 GeekGold. 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.
-Please thumb the main thread if you participate.
-"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 thumbsup and thumbsdown 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:

Oh, it is here. I always go to the wiki to find the current game and it wasn't there. I added it for you.

I'm going to have infrequent (if any) internet access over the next five days, or so. Should I get a volunteer to judge koans, or just make everyone wait on me?

Doh! Not sure how I missed that one.
Maybe I was just checking to make sure the Master's rule observes the Spock Rule. Yeah... that's it!

It's up to you. If you can even stop by once every couple days to judge, that would pacify me. Longer than that and I might have to find something productive to do... :eek:

Anyhow...
