When my wife and I watched the show I wrote a solver on the side so we always had the current probabilities and impossible combinations on the side.
I am thinking about making a website for it when the next season starts.
Also: in Germany at least they have 10 x 10 candidates from the start, but sometimes they add a 11th or even 12th of one gender so that there are double matches (e.g. 1 woman has two man as match and needs to find one of it to succeed). This raises the possible combination quite a bit.
Surely you mean 10 + 10 candidates (not 10x10).
Would love to see this!
Yes there's a gender fluid season and a season where someone had > 1 match, as well as people leaving part way through the season (apparently perfect matches are interchangeable...). All very interesting spins on the core problem to solve; would be really interested if anyone tries to tackle those seasons.
