MOUSE MATES
As of the 23rd May 2022 this website is archived and will receive no further updates.
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.
I have been corresponding with a mouse mate in Leeds for over 10 years.
We have never swapped addresses - I just know he lives in Leeds and he knows I live in North London.
About 6 years ago he emailed to say he had been in London for the weekend to visit an aunt. She was unwell and he had come to London in an emergency, so had not thought/had time to contact me to try to meet up (we have never met).
But he did email me a photo of himself standing outside the block of flats where his aunt lives.
It is the block opposite my house, and he also had a photo of himself taken from the opposite side of the road - so he had a photo of himself standing outside my house
