Pin Number

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.
About three years ago I had to replace a debit card which I then received a PIN number for. I already had a favourite PIN number so was going to change whatever my new PIN would be for the favourite. However much to my surprise, the new PIN number was the same as my favourite one. This initially made me think that the bank had published my existing PIN but I checked with them and they assured me it was random. No need to change the PIN though!
