Nice one. :-)

I offer anyone to host a game, I'll be away for 2-3 days after a couple hours.

Wow, that previous koan was difficult to understand, and it was probably made harder by all the similar wordings that everyone else made. Maybe we were getting closer when I found out that MISUNDERSTANDABLE had the buddha nature. Anyway, now that we know the answer, I'd definitely be experimenting that one using other interesting words.

Yes, NATURALSCIENCES and MISUNDERSTANDABLE were the last piece here. Earlier ideas were always explaining 90 percent of cases, but not these.
