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.
A cousin of mine died 4th Dec 2007.
His father died 4th Dec 1980
His grandfather died 4th Dec 1913
My cousin had 3 Christian names. Two after his 2 grandfathers, the 3rd name was after the Saint of the church where his father was Vicar.
The Saint was St Nicholas. He too died Dec 4th!!!
Quite a big coincidence don't you agree?!!
(I could probably send a copy of the tree if you'd like it, but as one member of the close family is still alive, I'd need to ask her permission first)
