Old schoolmate

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 was forty years old and I hadn't seen my old schoolmate Ed for 15 years. One night I had a dream in which Ed was in. The next day I was in a town 15 miles from where I live and I bumped into Ed. The coincidence struck me immediately. I don't think it was a premonition just a coincidence. Previous to this dream I gave Ed little thought.
