I had my one-year anniversary in eHarmony a few days ago and I looked at my match set ID #s from last year and this week. You know what they are — match IDs are those serial numbers at the end of the URL of our matches in eHarmony. Those numbers are obviously sequential.
[Ed's note on privacy: I added a random number to Pyke's two set ID numbers to protect his identity.]
9 July 2007 set=513961983
8 July 2008 set=894226229
894 million is enough to match almost four times the population of the entire European Union (27 countries).
894,226,229 – 513,961,983 = 380,264,246
380,264,246 matches in 365 days
(that’d have matched double the US population!)
= 1,041,819.85 matches per day
(that’d have matched the population of New Mexico!)
= 43,409.1605 matches per hour
(that’d have matched the population of Seychelles!)
= 723.486008 matches per minute
(that’d have matched double the Vatican City’s population!)
= 12.0581001 matches per second
(uh, that’s the number of eggs in a dozen!)
So, say that again, how many people in a day get married because of eHarmony? 
Wow, eHarmony can proudly say they run the most computative matchmaking software on the planet.
What enormous amount of data! Notice that none of the matches are archived. Members can readily open and review any of their matches and communications from six or seven years ago.
