Students at Iowa State University proved once and for all that the computer just can’t replace human calculations. They held an “IBM mixer” dance, where each student fed his vital statistics and interests into a computer and was then paired off with a member of the opposite sex who, the computer said, was most suited to him.

Imagine the chagrin of one coed who ended up with her twin brother.

PS: In the fall of 1963, Iowa State made national news for its “mixer” dance. Attendees, who filled out a questionnaire in advance, were matched with the help of an IBM computer housed in Snedecor Hall.
