The Match Game

[eggwards]

On a different note...first, happy birthday to Alex, darke, as well.

I played the Valentine's Day game as did 3742 other people on LJ. If they filled out all 5 spots, that means there were 18,710 attempts to match. Of those attempts, 705 matches were made. That's a success rate of about 3 percent. (my math skills are damn poor, so this could be way off)

...and I GOT A MATCH!

*does Snoopy's happy dance*

I feel as happy as Ralph Wiggum receiving the "I choo-choo-chose you!" card from Lisa!

Actually, I think most people didn't know about the jump to 5 people from 3 so the odds were probably a little bit better too. Congrats tho!

Yeah, I didn't know about the 5. Wonder if you can still add since it is within the day. I doubt it.

It's all over now, baby blue...still it was a nice feeling!

I happened to see someone post about the limit raise right before I went to bed. I would have missed it otherwise. Still only got 1 match anyway and it's been invalidated.

Buck up buddy, it's only a silly game, not real life. While I like my match, and I'd like to know him better (he'll have to reveal himself, I never know whether or not I should) I'm not going to put a lot of stock into this excersise. Perhaps real life will be better.
