Freaky Friday

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.

Last Friday, I went to lunch with two co-workers at a Chinese restaurant. While we were reading our fortune cookies, the lights flickered. We all laughed and mentioned the movie, Freaky Friday. Seven hours later, I checked into a hotel, which only had thirty-eight channels. Freaky Friday was the movie playing on the movie channel.
