Brooke Shields

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 talking with my fiance the other evening about films as were trying to work out what we had both seen. We were in the kitchen and the TV was playing to itself in the other room as we were having a last smoke before bed. We got onto ET and I mentioned that I thought that the young girl at school with Elliot reminded me a bit of Brooke Shields. We were both just wondering aloud what had happened to her as we hadn't seen her in anything for years, when we heard Jonathon Ross announcing his next guest which was...Brook Shields. Neither of us watch that show so hadn't a clue she would be on. We were both absolutely gobsmacked! Then the following day there was an article in my paper about this study. It may seem a small coincidence in the scheme of things and easily dismissed but we were both really blown away by it.
