eHarmony’s Secret Formula

We knew Coca Cola had a secret formula — but eHarmony? We had no idea that the science of hooking people up was actually complicated enough to have a secret algorithm.

Turns out, matchmaking is serious business, and the scienticians at eHarmony Labs (and, presumably, the labs of competing sites like Chemistry.com) spend a great deal of time figuring out exactly how to make the perfect match.
