If you're familiar with Turkish coffee cup fortune telling, you must already be familiar with that widely heard phrase: "You'll receive good news within three units of time!" Those three units of time are hard to interpret; it can be as soon as three hours, but more likely three days or three weeks. If your fate is a slowly-moving process, it might take three years for the miracle to happen.
