Birthdays and names

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 was conceived as one of a twin, my twin miscarried at 3 months. My mum went to have a D&C and luckily had a precautionary pregnancy test and went full term to give birth to me on 8th June 1967. My First son Josh was born 3 weeks late on my birthday 8th June 1994. My mum was born on the 5th June and all our ages currently add up to the same number. Mum is 71 I am 44 and Josh is 17 all add up to 8. We live at number 8 and my daughter Daisy was born on the 8th of September 11. My son Alfie was born on the 5/11 and my partner Sam was born 11/5. Got chatting to a lady a few weeks ago and somehow got onto birthdays and she had the same birthday as her son too but not only that it was also 8th June !! Got chatting to another guy at the same event who also had kids named Alfie and Daisy.
