Traditional Marriage Algorithm
For each day that some boy gets a “No” do:
- Morning
- Each girl stands on her balcony
- Each boy proposes under the balcony of the best girl whom he has not yet crossed off
- Afternoon (for those girls with at least one suitor)
- To today’s best suitor: “Maybe, come back tomorrow”
- To any others: “No, I will never marry you”
- Evening
- Any rejected boy crosses the girl off his list
Each girl marries the boy to whom she just said “maybe”
