Birthday Coincidence

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 moved to Holland a guy randomly knocked on my door to ask about my house We got chatting & turns out we were both pilots - both into motorcycles He then invited me on a trip (not really knowing me) as someone dropped out I coincidentally had time unexpectedly come free On that trip we discovered that we were not only born on the same day but also year!!! We have been friends over 10 years now & celebrated our 50th birthday together His wife birthday is 21st Jan he asked me if that was my partners, its not but I have only one sibling & she shares the same birthday Then I told him I was getting married & we had planned our wedding - he said don't tell me its the 6th July & it is! That's when he got married!!! This happens to me a lot! Adrian Herbert
