Begin as in normal Zendo: the Master thinks up a secret rule and makes two koans, one marked as conforming to the secret rule and one marked as ''not'' conforming to the secret rule. The koan that conforms to the secret rule is said to "have the [[Buddha-nature]]." |

Determine who goes first any way that is legal in your area, and proceed clockwise around the table with each turn. Alternately, for a realtime variant, the Master may permit Students to shout out rule guesses as they come up with them. In this realtime variant, the Master must gently restrain any Student who is rapidly making rule guesses to the exclusion of other Students' chances to guess. |

Instead, on a Student's turn, the Student attempts to guess the secret rule or must pass. In the realtime variant, a Student just shouts out a rule guess when one occurs to him or her. |

If a Student guesses and is incorrect, the Master must adjust one of the koans so that it disproves the guess. In doing so, the Master may remove pyramids from the koan or add pyramids to it. The Master also may use pyramids from the other koan or adjust the other koan in any way, as long as, after all adjustments, one of the koans disproves the guess while both retain their original relationships to the rule (i.e. the true koan remains true and the false koan remains false). |

If the Student's guess matches the Master's secret rule, that Student has won: shake his or her hand as everyone laughs... or groans. That Student is the next Master (or, alternately, rotate the role of Master counterclockwise each round... or let the loudest whiner be next). |
