THAT blue sequin top

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.
in 1998 my Husband and our friends travelled to Florida and joined a week - long cruise to the Eastern Caribbean. There were many Americans on board and on the night of the Captains Dinner we were in a queue to have our photograph taken with him before entering the Restaurant for the 2nd sitting.
To my horror there was a lady wearing the exact same peacock blue sequinned top that I was wearing.
I had purchased mine from a Dress Agency in Northampton the previous week and the label read
"exclusive design by ... ......Paris,France" .
I dashed back to our cabin and changed into a different outfit.
Later that evening my Husband got talking to the other lady passenger and explained what had happened.
She was as amazed as me because:- A. she lived in Houston , Texas
B. had never cruised before,
C. had visited family in Boston the week previously and bought the only peacock blue sequinned top available in an exclusive boutique she had never been in previously.
we had a laugh about the situation and I got to wear mine a couple of nights later
