I think xkcd did a "what if" about finding your soulmate. from what I remember, if you were on a conveyor belt, seeing ten people a second, and you'd know your soulmate the instant you set eyes on them, it would take 20 years on average to find them.

edit: my numbers were a little off. here is the actual page

Does that take into account that the time it takes might decrease for your age cohort, gradually? Because eventually, some people die, some already find theirs, eliminating them from the soul mate-o-matcher pool...
