I guess: A koan has the buddha nature iff, for every letter in the alphabet (A-Z), the koan contains either 0 or 1 copies of that letter.

Thanks! I'll leave first dibs to Proxima, he wasn't around for the offline Zendo session in Leeds.

Should Proxima not want to host, or not post within 48 hours (before Wed, 6th, 01:12 UTC): I have a rule to run next.

Guess: A koan is white if and only if it is the string BANANA.

Counterexample: BA is white even though it's not the string BANANA.

Wasn't expecting to be right, but as with the PINEAPPLE round earlier, the possibility was too funny to leave it unguessed.
