Abstract
A set of badges is distributed at a party to help attending party-goers 'break the ice' with members of the opposite sex. Each girl at the party is given a badge of one type, and each boy is given a badge of another type. Each badge has a light that can blink, but it is normally off. Each badge transmits a contact signal that is picked up by any opposite-type badge that is in proximity with it. If the two badges blink, indicating a match, the facing boy and girl must start talking to each other. Either both badges will blink or neither will, but whether or not they blink is based on chance. Each party-goer is given a hidden remote control which, when turned on, increases the probability of the lights blinking. Provision is also made for an exchange of personal information via the badges when a match is made.
