So, how do you find Mr. or Ms. Right after you break up with your first love? A little math does the trick. First, start a table going across, numbering one to ten:
| Your first love | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
|---|
Again, which one was your sweetie? Well, if he or she was indeed number one, you'd probably still be together, so we can eliminate that possibility. So, what's the key? The key, mathematically, is this... don't marry anyone unless the love between each of you is greater than that of your first relationship. Here are the possibilites:
| Your first love | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
|---|
| | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
|---|
| | | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
|---|
| | | | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
|---|
| Your next love | | | | | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 3 |
|---|
| could be any | | | | | | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
|---|
| of these... | | | | | | | 6 | 6 | 6 | 6 |
|---|
| | | | | | | | 7 | 7 | 7 |
|---|
| | | | | | | | | 8 | 8 |
|---|
| | | | | | | | | | 9 |
