                hex casting

                How to cast a hexagram

                The most ancient method involves casting fifty yarrow sticks in a succession of steps. If you are interested in the complicated procedure, please find a description elsewhere.

                Easier is the coin method. Throw three coins. Heads are yang and count as 3, tails are yin and count as 2. The result will obviously be between 6 and 9 inclusive:

                a 6 is an old yin (broken) line
                a 7 is a young yang (solid) line
                an 8 is a young yin (broken) line
                a 9 is an old yang (solid) line
                Traditionally when a hexagram consists only of new lines (7 or 8) only the judgment (the intial remarks) and the commentaries are read; the line statements (a six-line poem in my rendering) are ignored. (They are, however, the most interesting parts of the text.)

                Where there are old (6 or 9) lines, the statements for those lines are read. Additionally, those lines should be converted into their opposites and the judgements and commentaries for the new hexagram that results should be consulted.
                Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                  Actually not a single Hex has been cast in this entire thread, so the answer is 0.

                  I hope the OP's children all have small penises.... including the boys.

                  That's one!
