A mathematician named Charles Brenner has created a formula that can be used to find your soulmate.
More specifically, he was inspired by a specific mathematical problem: there is a deck of face down cards on a table. On each card there is a number we cannot see. Now, our aim is to grab the card with the highest score, respecting the rule that we can choose it only after having taken it, and once decided to try a new one, the card in our hands must be discarded, of course taking the risk that in the deck are remaining only cards having a lower score.
This can bring us to ask ourselves a specific question: "How much large must be the sample of cards to draw, in order to be sure to get at least one of the higher scores?"
And here Brenner made his analogy with the relationship world, comparing the deck of cards to the "golden period" in which anybody can actually try to achieve the highest number of conquests, and the score on each card to the level of connection and empathy you can feel in a relationship with somebody.
Also Brenner added that the best time to get an enough large sample to choose the ideal partner is equal to 1 / e (e = Euler number = 2.718 ...) multiplied by the "golden period". Assuming, then, for example, that a man's golden period goes approximately from the age of 20 to 45, the best sample is reached at the age of about 29 and, once reached that age, it should become typically convenient to choose as a partner the first person one feels a stronger connection with.
Well, clearly I think that love shouldn't be really chosen by messing with numbers, but apart from the moral of the story ("be aware of your limits in order to get the best you deserve") it is always interesting to see how the applications of mathematics can go far beyond what anyone could imagine.
