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.

My sister moved to live in France aged 18 (1968). In 1984 when Sade's album Diamond Life was released I dediced to send my sister a copy (cassette tape) from Ruislip where I was living at the time. I knew she would love it, posted it off and waited for her joyous reply. Just two days later I received a small package from France, on opening I saw Sade's debut album on cassette. I thought my parcel had been returned until I read the enclosed note saying, from my sister, she'd heard this music knew I would love it and sent it as a gift. The tapes crossed in the post and arrived at our respective homes at roughly the same time. Since my sister had lived in France neither of us had ever sent each other music or cassettes. Tears sprang from my eyes as I felt a deep connection to her telling me it was more than a coincidence.
