edit: I guess really it just depends on how you measure success, which is different for every person, which only adds to how bullshit this test is when you think about it

like a 3 or a 4 I'm glad slavery is over and they can vote but they are responsible for half of the murders and more importantly are seriously detrimental to my movie going experience

How long does it take to find out they are matching you with a dude ?

812 matches found now out of almost 60,000 tests, up from 0 at 44,000. Any chance any of these aren't just people reentering their same answers?

Well I'm pretty sure anyone who is taking an online test to find their SOULMATE will be both dumb and narcissistic.

Yes, it's very likely to get a hit at way lower than the 1 out of 16,777,216 probability. Same principle as the birthday paradox. I think you're actually likely to get a single match hit somewhere in the range of 5,000-10,000 responses. Maybe their hit counter only increments when people confirm or something?

If this code is correct and you can just substitute 365 for 16777216:
code:
// C++ program to approximate number of people in Birthday Paradox 
// problem
#include <cmath>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// Returns approximate number of people for a given probability
int find(double p)
{
    return ceil(sqrt(2*365*log(1/(1-p))));
}
 
int main()
{
   cout << find(0.70);
}
You are 50% likely to get a single hit at around 4k, 75% around 7k, and 99% around 10k.
