it is tough to bend people after they first get married. so we ask every question we can think to ask, and then we match them so carefully on 29 dimensions. we call it broad based compatibility. >> what are some of the types of questions that you ask, and a couple of the most important categories when it comes to matching people up. >> i'll tell you, becky, the fun thing is, you know intelligence is really important, but you can't give them an iq test. but two people who are married need to be within about one standard deviation, which is ten points. so we have to ask the questions that get gather intelligenc so we can pair people up so they won't find themselves feeling hurt, because the other person is saying things day don't understand, or frustrated because they're saying things that the other person doesn't understand. >> what you did was so unique at

conventional area. but we take those people very seriously and we want them to have long-term relationships that are good. >> now you have been married to your wife for 56 years? >> yeah. >> how did you meet her? >> i met her at pepperdime university an we fell in love there. >> did you give her a personality test? >> no, i didn't, but i had an intuition that i wanted someone that had values like her, and someone that was really bright. she is a little brighter than i am, but not that much. we had a great marriage. we have three daughters and nine grand kids and we're looking for that kind of experience for the people that come to us. >> thank you very much for your time, it has been a pleasure. >> i enjoyed it, becky, very much. >> up next, we're "on the money." three billionaires changing the world time, and

philanthropy can get together and talk about what has and hasn't worked. can you tell us something that comes from that school of -- this was a really interesting thing that we tried but we should not try again because it wasn't worth it? >> it is amazing to get that group together, we have a gathering of 130 this year. half come to the annual meeting. the idea of chatting through what is going on has been incredible. the idea that sometimes foundations make equity investments, that has been a top take to my surprise is one of the most interesting. they're all kind of capitalists and they wonder if the bottom line things, do they and can they work -- >> what are they? >> if the foundation sees a bio-tech company who can help with ritual medicine and say

make new vaccines, we might say okay, unless we help them out they won't get going. in return for our investment we get free access to that technology for the very poor countries. and so it is a win-win when it works out. >> can i ask each of you about the work that, the one item that you have worked on at the foundation you're most proud about. >> melinda really put her energies, her voice, and money beyond that, but the voice and the energy and more important behind family planning and it could change the world in a major way. >> do you want to talk a little about that? >> i took it on about two years ago getting contraceptives into women's hands, voluntary contraceptives, educating them. if they can space the time of the birth of their children, the women and the children are both
