The Italian Answer -- Spreads

I'm not sure where this comes from, the Italians maybe?  My Mom learned this from her Grandmother, who was Bavarian, go figure!  Anyway, she always called it the Italian Answer and it's a fun and quick little spread for which the answer is either a "Yes" or a "No".

The individual thinks of his or her question whilst shuffling the deck.  They then cut the deck in three, and lay each pile face down on the table.  The piles are then turned over so that the bottom most card of each pile is visible.  The colors are interpreted as such:

3 black cards - Most certainly no!
2 black cards - No.
3 red cards - Most certainly yes!
2 red cards - Yes.

A charming little spread that will have all of your friends laughing at the outcome!
