Twice the spookieness

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.
As a LSAR member I was rapidly deployed immediately after Christchurch earthquake and a couple of days later was searching a property on the edge of the CBD were I found a copy of 'East of Eden' in the rubble. Since it's my favourite book I flicked through the pages and found a envelope addressed to me when I was a student - it was my old university copy! Later in the rest centre I fell onto a bed but it wasn't until several hours later that I woke and noticed the running tally of certain bed related events inscribed on the headboard and looked behind it where my name was carved into it - it was my old bed from my university flat! The spooky part being that I attended a university at the other end of the other Island of New Zealand!!!
