coincidental meeting
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.
Our next door neighbours were driving through France on holiday and stopped for one night at an hotel in northern France. Eating at the restaurant that evening they began chatting to the couple at the next table. During the conversation our neighbours said they lived in Rotherham, the other couple replied that they were from Reading but had relatives who lived in Rotherham. It emerged that the couple were my sister and her husband who were also staying at the hotel for one night on their way home from holidaying in France.
