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 boyfriend and I were on holiday in Thailand, and decided to go to Pattaya for a couple of days to see what is was like, we were walking along the seafront and someone called out to us, it was a friend from back home in the Channel Island who had left to work overseas several years earlier, we were amazed to see her, she was on holiday with a friend. We took our leave of her that night as we were travelling back to Bangkok the next day to spend 4 or 5 days there before going home. On our 2nd day back we decided to take an excursion and got up early to meet our bus, who should be sitting on the same bus but our friend from back home, we couldn't believe our eyes.......what were the odds of meeting her again!
