colleague's home

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.

My husband and I live in Oxford, and decided to have a walk in the countryside. We chose the only walk nearby in a book of walks we have that covers all of the UK. We started our walk in the town of Charlbury, where I know one person - a colleague. I didn't know where in Charlbury she lived. Ten minutes into our walk, down a farm track on which there were only two houses in site, the door of one of them opened and my colleague Sarah walked out. She hadn't come out in response to my walking past, just happened to be coming out of the house at that time. It was ca. 11:30 am on Sunday 15th January 2012.
