In a small Hungarian village there are several guys: Adám, Béla, Csaba, Dávid, Erik, Feri, Géza, Imre, and Jenő — and several girls: Hanna, Klára, Lujza, Maja, Nóra, Petra, Róza, and Sára. Some of them like each other. Help each girl find herself a husband — it must be someone she likes, and who likes her.

What you see is a table with the names of all the guys and girls (girls names are written vertically), where . means this guy would not make a suitable husband for this girl, and O means he is a good choice. Enter first letters of his and her names, without spaces, in that order, like AH — meaning, Adám gets to marry Hanna. If Adám is not a good match for Hanna, entering AH will produce no effect and you'd have to try again. As you keep doing that, the entries in the rows and columns you indicated would be replaced by X — showing that those guys and girls aren't available anymore. You win if every girl finds a husband; you lose if there are no other matches to make.

The game would start again after you finish it, with different possible couples. Rest assured, there is a solution for each puzzle.

Note: the system depends on the env program supporting the -S switch — which should work in MacOS, any modern Linux, and MacOS.
