25yrs later i still can't believe it happened......

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.

Back in the mid 80's i left School & got an Apprenticeship at a local company, on my first day i sat there with the the fellow new starters & we were all allotted a Works Number, to my surprise it was 2669, as my date of birth was 2nd of June 1969 (2-6-69).......i thought maybe they'd done this on purpose to help you remember it etc, until i noticed that all the other new starters had the numbers surrounding mine 2667,2668,2670 etc etc and that it was the actual number of employee's they'd ever employed, Spooky i thought ! Anyway, as i'd just left school and was now in the big wide world of money, i had to open a bank account so that my wages could be paid into it, this was just about the time when cashcards were coming into popular use (you know what's coming don't you ?), so........a week or so later a nice shiny new CashCard dropped through my letterbox, only to be followed by another letter containing my new (randomly generated) PIN Number.............Yes you guessed it ! it was 2669 !!!! i couldn't believe it (and still don't !), but as i was a naive teenager i thought maybe my company & the bank had colluded to give me the same numbers as my date of birth to help me remember etc........Well.......obviously not ! So.......what are the chances/probability of that then ? my Date of Birth, my first Works number & my new bank cards PIN all being exactly the same ! (but not just being the same numbers, but the fact that its also my date of birth, thats the bit that spooks me !) it's bugged me for the last 27yrs and i still can't believe it actually happened, especially as it all happened within a week of me starting my first job. *Scratches Head* Lan
