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.
I hope you will enjoy my coincidence story. I could not believe it when I found out the connection.
In the late sixties I went to a boarding school in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), the school was called Arundel. I left Africa in 1973, came to live in England, married and had children, loosing most connections with Rhodesia.
3 years ago my daughter married an Apache pilot and went to live in a Forces married quarter in Suffolk. Last year a newly married couple moved into the quarter next door to them, the husband was also an Apache pilot and works with my son in law. I later discovered that the young wife turned out to be the daughter of a girl who was in the same class as me at Arundel School in Africa all those years ago. She looks just how I remember her Mum!
