Why 60%?
Yin Metal is 辛, a polished jewel; Yang Wood is 甲, a tall tree. Metal tames Wood in the controlling cycle. Controlling pairs start at 58. One is yang and one is yin, which adds +2: 58 + 2 = 60.
Out of the 10 stems, 7 would score higher with Yin Metal.
Only the year's stem is used — this is a quick game, not a saju (Four Pillars) reading. The points are our own design; the five-element cycles are a tradition, not a science.
