Huh, it's like Zendo except in reverse - the goal is create a guessable pattern rather than an obscure one.

Goodness, I would so much rather play Reverse Zendo, too! I might actually take this idea and run with it! :)

Ewwww... if you have masters trying to make obscure patterns, then they're doing Zendo wrong.

Patterns simply are obscure; there's little helping it.
