My Uncle's House

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.
My brother is a Professor at a University in the State of Maryland in the U.S. He was talking with his students one day and for some reason referenced fond summer memories of his late uncle’s house in Duxbury Massachusetts. He mentioned some details of the house in relation to the fond memories. When the class ended one of his students came up to him to talk more, as the details he had mentioned sounded very much like the house in which her parents currently live (and she whenever not at uni). They were able to corroborate that she does in fact live in my and my brother’s late Uncle’s house! The State of Maryland is a ten hour drive South of the State of Massachusetts, so for her to end up in my brother’s class and for this to come out in the open is interesting indeed.
