Sure, doesn't sound strange to me at all. Basically a synonym for "determine". (Native English speaker, California)

divine v. [trans.]: to discover or locate (as water or minerals underground) usually by means of a divining rod.

That definition is not there (merriam-webster.com).

Even more - when I Google for "divine v. [trans.]: to discover or locate" -- the only link is to your comment on hackerstream.

You need to click on "divine (verb)", third on the list of "entries found". Or the direct URL: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/divine[3]

Wow, I didn't realize they were crawling us that fast.

I see that definition at http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/divine?show=2

(To not have the creators of hackerstream come crawling out of the woodwork, you may refer to it as 'that which shall not be named'.)

The root is from the Latin word divinare - to forsee / predict / prophesy.

Ever heard of a devining rod?

Ahem ... divining.
