AN EXACT TIME

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.

Travelling through Perth I was listening to an audio book (a Smiley Spy story, I think) when I looked at my watch to see the time at EXACTLY the moment the same time was read out by the audio book. Obviously the time in the book was nothing but a passing reference in the plot but it coincided exactly with my time (but not necessarily the actual exact time... though it may have been).
