I seem to recall reading that quarters are biased coins, for what that's worth.
The ancient Hebrews evideently performed an I Ching-ish bit of devination with
something caled the 'Urim and Thumim'
(which show up in Mormon mythology as a pair of spectacles).
I've often envisioned ancient Hebrew priests tossing something upward and
crying, 'Urim or Thumim! Call it in the air!'
Oh, well,
