Scoring 3
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.
Hi, I read quite a lot but find this does not occupy my mind enough so also
have the radio on, tuned to radio 4 and have speech rather than music.
I feel my mind drifts between the two without slowing on reading.
So I started to play a game. If I heard a word on the radio and I was
reading this word at the same time (excluding 1 &2 syllable words) I score
myself 1 point. In an hours reading I always score 1 and have got as high as
3 with intermittent reading during the day.
I have been doing this for several years now. I don't claim a high IQ (about
135 according to the last TV prog). but my brain never switches off.
The other, same lady, when we dance Argentine Tango. (we are frequently
applauded for our efforts)
At my next birthday I am 74, feel about 25 inside and hope it all continues
this way.
