While seeking help in solving my problem, I found your brilliant forum and decided to ask my question here (see "Magical Equations" - "Magical Cube 6x6x6 Filled with 0 and 1"). Speaking honestly, this problem is taken from "I Ching" (or "Yi Jing") - Chinese classical "Book of Changes", and those 64 numbers are simply 64 hexagrams. Yes, I'm strongly attracted to this book, and particularly to mathematics in this book, while I don't like manipulations with text (even with original Chinese columns of characters for hexagrams and their lines). So I'll be very glad to correspond with other explorers of mathematical aspects of I Ching. It is a sort of mathematical magic, as I see it.

Other my interests - astrology (mostly Chinese, but Avestian too), psychology (how real astrology can exist without psychology?). And languages.

I live in St.-Petersburg in Russia, so, as you can assume, English is not my native language. Even if I write good in it (I simply know how important is to know how to express thoughts clearly and exactly), I'm still afraid of large portions of English text.

P.S. Oh, and I didn't see so many smilies anywhere else! Do you use them all? Too many, and of different styles... And I myself hardly use smilies...

Hi Granite Golem,

I have to admit I'm one of those people that frequently uses the smilies but as in real life, I often have a smile on my face. It's all personal taste however.
