Chance meeting

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.
During world war 2, my mum's dad and his two brothers all served in the Navy on different ships. One day my mum's dad was walking down the quay side in Malta and happened to bump into one of his brothers. They were standing talking when they happened to spot the other brother. So in the space of a few minutes, all three brothers were together in an unplanned meeting.
