Thanks for all the tips everyone.  First off this point by Jacob is great, I love the simple idea to determine complexity.

I'll read through the articles on the Geek that was pointed out as well.  I might have to print them to make some handouts when we do Zendo in class.

In general, an interesting beginning rule should have only one
quality that is used.  An interesting intermediate rule should have
two qualities that are used.  And interesting advanced rule relates
two qualities.

Beginner:  white koans have one color.
Intermediate: white koans have one color or one size.
Advanced: white koans have as many colors as sizes.

How's that?
