Clubbing in the sixties

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.

In the sixties I lived in London and often went to Jazz clubs and concerts. But this time I had gone to Paris and spent the night in a Jazz club there. Out in the street in the very early morning I got talking a friendly black American who had also been clubbing. We had a nice chat and then went our separate ways. A week later I was on the street again in the early morning, but this time in London, also after a night in a Jazz club. And who should I bump into but the very same friendly American!
