palindromes

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.

So....I'm a writer and today I'm writing an article about palindromes which are words or numbers that read the same in either direction. Looking online for the source of the word 'palindrome' I have just read that it was created by the playwright Ben Jonson. As I read this fact I noticed that the time was 13.31 (a palindrome). And guess what the name of the road where I live is...Ben Jonson!
