Exchanging gifts

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.

Back in the early 1990's, I was visiting a friend, who lived in Abergavenney. As I surprise I thought I would buy her a 'thank you for having me gift', and decided on a presentation pack of 'Paris' soap. Whilst enjoying a cup of coffee, she presentated me with a gift, so I thought I would hand her mine. Imagine our surprise when she had bought me exactly the same gift of 'Paris' soap.
