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 have now met 2 people who share the same date of birth as me. Same day, month and year. One was born in the same hospital as me and I met him at the age of 35. The other I met in South Korea whilst teaching out there. I have contact with both people and earlier this year I was working here in the UK with one twin and teaching online in Korea for the other twin. What are the odds of this situation happening?
