Большинство обречено жить с нелюбимыми, чужими людьми, терпеть их рядом, вместо наслаждения от совместной жизни.
Но он/она существует непременно, предназначенная свыше половинка.
А у буржуев уже есть ответы:
New very scientific data* has revealed that your chances of finding love with someone you're compatible are fairly slim. Data (from the UK, admittedly) indicates that you have a one in 562 chance of falling in love with someone compatible who likes you back.
Love is numbers game - the risks of optimal strategy
In this era of the Internet, meeting new people is much easier than before, but paradoxically, finding the proper partner is still a challenge. How do you know that the person sitting across from you at dinner is right for you? It can be tough to know for certain, but you can remarkably increase your chances of finding your ideal companion using... math.
Romantic, we know.
Mathematicians developed a theory called the optimal stopping rule, the primary purpose of which is to find the most effective strategy of maximizing an expected payoff. In our dating theory calculator, we use it to finally solve (or at least help to solve) the eternal problem of finding the right lifetime partner. What's more, we further improved it to make it more realistic and practical. Take some time to explore it in detail, and find out why love is often called a numbers game!
Maths and love on one picture
What is the optimal stopping problem?
The optimal stopping problem has many different names: the secretary problem, the sultan's dowry problem, the 37 percent rule, or the googol game... The essence of all of them is the same: find the best option from sequentially observed random variables. Sounds complicated? It's not that bad if we explain it with an example!
To stick to this calculator's topic, we'll think about choosing the ideal partner. Let's say that during your lifetime you will meet ten people that you could really love and live with. Which one should you pick? Obviously, the best one! The problem is that you cannot gather them all in a room at once, so you can find which one is right for you. Instead, you will date them one by one, in a random order, with less suitable partners thrown in. You don't know whether the person you're currently dating is your soulmate. Maybe the next one will be a much more suitable choice for you? Besides, more often than not, you cannot go back to rejected partners. So, herein lies the problem. Choose too early, and you might not even meet the perfect one - wait too long, and you will have already rejected Mr or Mrs Right.
Ten candidates to choose
So, how to find the love of your life? Well, this is where math and probability become truly helpful, even if on the surface it seems like it's all about luck. It turns out that the best strategy is, out of the total number of potential dates you will go on, to reject the first 37% of them (precisely 1/e ≈ 36.79%, where e is the base of the natural logarithm). Of our ten people, we will need to reject the first four. It doesn't matter how good they seemed, reject them. The next step is to pick the next person who is better than anyone you've ever met before. Following these instructions will give you the highest chance of meeting the very best suitor possible. In our example, the probability of choosing the best person increases to about 40%, from only 10% if you were to select randomly.
