Cooperative Zendo

Not the kind with cardstock and pawns. Mostly play by post Mafia so far.

No, no, no, no, no, yes, no, yes, strings of nonnatural length are not strings and therefore disqualified :P

There is no penalty for a wrong guess. I feel like I would get more information by making one than by regular koans. It still seems to go against the spirit of it.

You can make a wrong guess, but if it's contradicted by something that has already been shown I will merely point to it and you will gain no new information; if it hasn't, however, that's actually a pretty smart idea to get the Master to help.

So for a while single letters alternate between yes and no: a no, b yes, c no, d yes, e no, f yes, g no, h yes, i no, j yes -- but by that rule "o" should be a no, and it's a yes. Which is odd.
