crossing paths
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.
I met a young man in my local pub only a month or so after the breakdown of my previous relationship. We hit it off instantly and found we lived only a few streets away. When we got to know each other more we realised we knew the same people and I went on a school trip with his brother when I was about 11. This got us talking more and we found we went to the same school - he was a year older than me. We went to the same uni at the same time and also worked in the same bar! I even recognized his friend who managed the bar! We got the same bus home at weekends from and to the same stop and frequented the same pubs and clubs but never met each other in these 15 years where our paths continuously crossed until 3 years ago in June when I got talking to him, by chance in our local.
