Love Calculator

How the love math works

Two classic notebook games from school, done exactly by the old rules. No randomness: the same two names always give the same result.

• TRUE LOVEWrite both names together and count how often each letter of T-R-U-E-L-O-V-E appears. Add each pair of neighboring numbers, keep only the last digit, and repeat until two digits are left. That's your percent.
• FLAMESCross out the letters the two names share. Count what's left, then go around F-L-A-M-E-S striking out every n-th letter until one remains: Friends, Lovers, Affection, Marriage, Enemies or Siblings.
• Stroke countFor two Korean names, the classic version: write the syllables of both names in turn, count the strokes in each, then add neighbors the same way down to two digits. Stroke counts here follow one fixed convention.

It's a game. If it says Enemies, text them anyway.
