Breakfast conversation

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 staying overnight with a friend I made some years ago and she had invited an old friend of hers at the same time. Over breakfast we were talking about co-incidences and 6th sense. That conversation over with, I was telling them about my husband and my planned holiday to Portugal later that month. The other ladies were then laughing over the co-incidence, as they had met working as holiday reps in Portugal - and of course we had been speaking about co-incidences. However, they asked me where we would be staying and I said Lagos and they were amazed as that was their resort so when I told them we would be at the Hotel Lagos they were even more amazed as that is where my friend had been based and as I recall that is where the travel company they represented had their offices.
