This program is a version of the I Ching. For centuries the I Ching has been used both as an oracle to predict the future, and as a source of deep wisdom. The querent asks a question, then drops three coins six times. Each drop determines one line of a hexagram, whether is solid or broken, moving or unmoving. The resulting six-lined figure is then interpreted.
Even if you have no interest in divination, the I Ching can offer valuable insight into your own psyche, shedding light on how you really feel about a problem.
New in version 3.1.2
