House mates meet

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.
Not my story but when I was at Birmingham University 40 years ago there were 26 of us on my course and six of us shared a house. Two of the blokes particularly didn't like each other. At the end of the second year we all went off to do our own thing for the summer. These two, without prior knowledge were both traveling around Europe and found themselves sitting on the same bench in St Mark's square in Venice one lunchtime. They weren't particularly pleased to meet and didn't continue their journeys together!
