Another van story
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.
I had just been thinking that my number plate coincidence below was the first I had experienced for quite some time, and now another one happens the following day...
I was driving in to work this morning in Edinburgh and Radio 4 were airing a programme called "The Matter of the North" about the north of England and one King was mentioned a few times: King Canute.
Exactly five minutes after the programme I am approaching a queue of traffic and there, a few cars ahead of me, is a big yellow lorry with the company name...Canute Distribution. Never heard of them before or noticed them, mainly because they are based in the north west of England. Similar to the Mulholland van coincidence I had(Music coincidence#1) I am beginning to thing someone really is playing games with me again.
I have posted the following previously as I am wondering if some people are either more prone to coincidences, or for some reason notice them more:
Numders(should have been numbers!)
Music coincidence #1(more to come)
A scary "Topic"
