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.
My Mother and I regulary have the experience of phoning each other at the same time but the coincidence I wish to report is this...one day I phoned her and said I had purchased a very unusual blouse,she said so had she (She lives in Ipswich and I live near Norwich) I said I was sure mine was more different than hers as mine was short at the front and had a long tail at the back.
It turned out she had bought the same blouse at the same time but we were in different places!!!
Another thing that was strange is that when I did my family research the things my distant relatives believed or did ,I do !
