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.
I was given a white second-hand chest of drawers by my mother-in-law which i decided to paint a stencil design of tulips on. I used it for a couple of years but then gave it to a friend of mine. This friend who lived quite near me moved about 170 miles away. After I separated from my husband I decided to move to the area she now lived in and was allocated a council house in a nearby village.
I became friendly with my next door neighbour who one day showed me her decorated bedroom. In the bedroom was the chest of drawers!. I asked her where she had got it from and she explained from a recent car boot sale. I then talked to my friend who explained that she hadn't wanted the chest but was embarrassed to tell me so had sold it at a car boot sale.
Coincidences; Being randomly housed next door to someone who bought the chest of drawers at a car boot sale especially after it had travelled 170 miles. Weird.
