Ambigram All Around
As of the 23rd May 2022 this website is archived and will receive no further updates.
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 am in the hospital right now, being kept overnight for observation. I have a nurse and a tech. The tech was showing me her tattoos, including one that reads the same backwards and forwards. I told her I have been doing this for people for decades, before they had a name (they're called ambigrams). Then the nurse comes in and he starts talking - completely without having heard the earlier conversation - about how someone once wrote his name out so it reads the same upside-down as right-side up.
