The Hunger Games

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 night (8-5-14, 10:30) I was reading Chapter 2 of The Hunger Games. The fictional storyteller, Katniss Everdeen, revealed that her birthday was 8th May (no idea what year as the book is set somewhere in the near future!). I'm sure plenty of other people were reading the book yesterday as well but I did find this a surprise.
