Why oh why?

Whats the deal with placing an "x" or an "o" in the broken lines of the hexograms? All of the above answers are good and relevant. What they do not explain are that the placing of X or O in lines also generates 2 hexagrams to give a more in depth answer to your question. Hope this helps! :smt002
