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 to sum up the coincidence - I flew half way around the world and ran into a complete stranger playing a piano in a hotel lobby - who's daughter, as it turned out, had been working only ~ 3(vertical) meters away from me in an office building (half way around the world) for the past several years. I don't know what the odds of this coincidence might be ... but would think that it might be greater than winning the National Lottery.
