"A really bad idea is to apply a really BIG algorithm to find out who matches with whom. Often, in online dating such an algorithm is based on what psychologists think or found out or think to have found out. This is the second step in the ivory tower idea that you know better for your users. It is an arrogant idea and it will not work because you compete with evolution. Humans are trained by evolution to find the right partner. They will beat any algorithm conceived by psychologists and computer scientists."

Even events that have a 0% possibility can occur.
Reason for this: probability is defined as number of occurrences of an event divided by number of experiments when the experiment is executed an infinite amount of times. So if an event occurs a finite number of times the probability is 0, yet it still occurred.
