Leaving Chris World?

Why not bring back a souvenir?

One Interesting Dataset

So there's this site I have a profile on that has injected
a variety of interesting people into my life from time to time.
I'm in no way ashamed to be there because I know it's much more efficient
to search a database of folks then to let Monty Carlo Algorithms
rule my world.
In the future, I'll make this point more sharply in
the 'Why the h*&k are you wasting time in those places when you may as well
expand your catalytic relationship surface area.." movie.*

I like this site because they tend to run statistical queries over
the population of data and tell me about the state of the human condition
in a quantitative sort of manner.(oktrends)

Regardless, I found a rather odd message in my inbox this
morning.

What the h$%^ll?
If this is spam it's pretty amazing spam.

Anyway, I trust this site a bit more given that,
"All four of OkCupid’s founders were math majors"
And their system for analyzing data is quite intriguing.
Regardless, it's a bit vague on the details here.

It says, 'top half of' the users.
The actual number might be slightly above average
I have no idea what the confidence interval or dataset size was.

*I'm perfectly fine meeting people in real life but I'm not about to
pass up any chance to find perfection in a world with nearly 4.5 billion choices.
Nor can this small town really provide the necessary selection. Double hence
wait for the movie. It ought to be a delight.
