Lens caps lost and found

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.
As a child I bought a pair of binoculars. We visited a hill one side of the town where I lived to try out the binoculars. Unfortunately I lost one of the lens caps. Some weeks later we visited another hill the other side of the town and I found a lens cap that someone else had lost. It fitted my lens perfectly.
I like to think that the other person who lost their lens cap found mine.
