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.

My husband had been estranged from his father for 17 yrs. Every year, I would check secretly to see if he was still around.This last saturday, I found on the computer that he had passed on may 15, 2013, in CA. My husband was upset and remorseful and mad. He had spent summers with his dad's then new wife and his dad when he was a teen. They divorced at some point. He asked me to try to find the ex-wife so he could see if she knew what had happened. Only to find that she died on the exact same day and year in MT. They were ten yrs apart and both died of heart attacks. Ofcourse, the probability of this is blowing his mind and he keeps asking himself what are the odds of any of this transpiring the way it has.
Thank you for your consideration
