Hymn writers age at death

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.
Recently at a local Methodist service I noticed that of the five hymns chosen by the preacher, the writers in the case of three of them all died at the age of 61. The translater of the fourth also died at the age of 61.
The hymn book has the dates of the writers etc. printed after each hymn and I always look whilst enjoying singing!
