South African visit reveals coincidence

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 parents were visiting her brother who lives in South Africa. My mum was browsing through her brothers visitors book and noticed a very familiar address. It was my next door neighbour whose name my parents didn't know at that time. My next door neighbours had been staying with friends in South Africa and those friends had taken them to visit my uncle and they had signed the visitors book. When my mum came home and told me, it sent shivers down my spine.
