When in Rome

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.
I was on holiday in Rome last year (August), and it was around midday, we hurrdied to get onto the metro, and pushed our way on. I look at the person next to me holding onto the same pole as me, and he looked at me. Then all of a sudden we said each others name (reluctantly as we had changed a lot!) But to my relief It was a friend i hadnt seen since primary school, who was traveling around Europe, and was only in Rome for a day!
