11700 Miles to the same tube carriage

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.

Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.

I just bumped into a Kiwi I met in Queenstown, New Zealand 4 years ago on a morning rush hour tube in London. It was rammed and we were at different ends of the carriage, but for some reason we both looked up at the same time. We both did a double take and then burst out laughing. Crazy!
