"Nancy Drew" coincidence

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.

At work, four years ago, I was looking up an article on Carolyn Keene, author of the Nancy Drew series, on Wikipedia. A coworker, who had already been there for a few hours (in other words, he could not have possibly known what I was reading) mentioned the Nancy Drew series to another coworker.
