(Dartford meets Darlington) squared, via the Alps

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.
Having moved from Belgium to France, we made friends with a couple who had recently moved from Yorkshire. Over the years we discovered that the husband of this couple had been a pupil at Dartford Grammar School at the same time although not in the same year as my brother. Our friend's wife had been a pupil at Darlington Girls' Grammar School at the same time as my sister-in-law although, again, not in the same year. The two couples have never met through professional, family or social contacts. The coincidence only came to light through conversations with ourselves.
