Same couple three times!!!
As of the 23rd May 2022 this website is archived and will receive no further updates.
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.
On holiday in Castille, Spain from 13th to 25th October 2010 inclusive.
Saturday 16th Salamanca - Met and talked to a Dutch couple whilst on the roof of the cathedral.
Tuesday 19th Pena de Franca - 80Km away, met for the 2nd time whilst in the countryside on top of a mountain .
Wednesday 20th Candelario - 40Km away, met for the 3rd time in car park on way to explore the town.
On all occasions: a) couple strangers to us; b) no pre-planning; c) no discussion on where we were going next; c) only the four or us present; and c) less than one hour duration in each location.
My job is risk assessment and the odds on this happening look horrendous.
