This study analyzes phone calls answered by someone other than the intended recipient at Sieg 433 during Spring Quarter 2002, with comparisons to data from the previous year. Gender information was tracked to explore its impact on call dynamics. Findings reveal one dominant subject influenced call patterns, suggesting social engineering implications. Results indicate that receiving calls may enhance attractiveness, proposing that computer scientists might enhance their social appeal using automated dialing methods.

On The Number of Phone Calls to Occupants of Sieg 433 Answered by Someone Other Than Their Recipient During Spring Quarter 2002: A Study With Implications for Niche Selection, Social Engineering, and Human Mating Behavior Isaac Kunen
Overview • We kept a log of phone calls to Sieg 433 which were answered by someone other than the intended recipient • Similar data was collected last year during a similar time period • This year we also kept gender information • Subject identities are kept strictly anonymous
One Dominant Individual • One subject, codenamed amol ( ), dominated the rankings • In data from last year a different anonymous subject, ksna ( ) dominated the same rankings
One Possible Cause • One individual forced the other out of the environment
Conclusions • Clearly, receiving phone calls makes one more attractive to the opposite sex • Maybe computer scientists could increase their allure through the use of war dialers
