Predictive tea leaves

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.
We were just discussing tea leaves and brewing up,in our FB gardening group and the wives tail of them being used to determine the future when Chris Tarrant asked the player on 'Who wants to be a millionaire' the question 'who took the kettle off when Polly put it on'.
Worse still,that was the 3rd coincidence today of that type.
The previous two being the diamonds coincidence and the other millionaire/property coincidence.
