Work Coincidence

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.

Where I worked when I first came to London, I had a colleague whose family name was Mellish. Later in life I became a Governor of a NHS Trust, the chairman of which was my work mates cousin, (also a Mellish). I then volunteered as a guide at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich to find one of my fellow guides was my work mates sister (also a Mellish). I know they are a South East London family but the probabilities of such events twice over seem quite high.
