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.
A friend told me this story: His wife is very Catholic, but he was a Protestant and not much of a believer. But he turned Catholic for her as a birthday-present.
He told God: "Now I did my best for THEE , let´s see what you can do, - it is your turn !"
He usually went to work changing for one bus to another, this altogether would took cca. 30 minutes. But this time the first bus came "in a split of a second" and the second one too.
So he arrived at work in 8 minutes . He did not remember that ever happening before . The second day this miracle was repeated; travelling time: 8 minutes.
And so happened the third day. He started to count not more than 10 minutes duration for his journeys. But from the forth day onwards buses arrived as earlier (before he asked God for a sign ) and his journeys took 30 minutes.
"Miracles, , last three days." - God told him
and he turned a true believer .
