Holiday meeting

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.
About 10 years ago we were holidaying in South Africa. We were driving from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town and saw a sign for a small remote nature reserve so on impulse decided to stop and have a walk. It was a sunday and there were a lot of people there. Whilst walking back from a view point we bumped into a colleage of my husbands who taught at the same school as him in Oxfordshire, she was on holiday as well. Then 3 years later we were on holiday in China and on our first night there we were having dinner in an extremely large tourist hotel when in came the same teacher also on holiday. We haven't met her again in any unusual or strange places but you never know they say things come along in threes.
