11:11

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.

For many years I have noticed 11:11 on clocks etc and about 15 years ago came across a book about the 11:11 phenomena. In 2008, I went to a summer gathering (festival) in Dorset. I parked in Wareham to get a coffee and noticed my ticket was bought at 11:11 but wasn't too surprised. I then went on to the festival and bumped into someone I hadn't seen for about 10 years (Hilary C). She told me She had just written a book called The 11:11 code. I bought a copy and reached page 10 where she mentioned that she noticed the trip meter on her car was 111. I decided to check mine. It was exactly 111. I had driven from Woodingdean (11 letters) to Gaunts House (11 letters)-111 miles exactly. I showed it to a friend to verify it. About 3 days later I drove from there to Glastonbury (11 letters) and this time I noticed the time on the ticket was 11:22 (also significant I think). I decided to check out bookshops to see if they had any on the 11:11 phenomena. The first one I went to the man said he didn't have any but he was born on the 11th of the 11th month. Also in 2000 I picked up a till receipt that someone had dropped by a coffee machine. It was for £11.11p and the time was 11.11am on the 11th of 11month. I kept it but when i looked a few years later it had faded away unfortunately. I've had many other synchronicities other than the 11:11 ones. I noticed that the "opera coincidence" listed already was on the 11th of the 11th Wayne B
