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.
Flying from San Francisco to Denver on March 23, 2015. Denver is my home.
I sat next to a woman on a United flight. I helped her with her overhead carry on.
We didn't chat other than her saying thank you. Fast forward 9 days later on April 1, 2015.
I arrive at the airport in denver for a flight to Tulsa. After getting through checkpoint I'm on the escalator to get to concourse B. Who is in front of me? The exact same woman from the San Francisco to denver flight. She was wearing the same Native Shaul/overcoat and red bag. I was stunned! I didn't say anything, just took note. Stuff like this happens to me OFTEN. Thanks for reading.
