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.
Since I left Gavilan View Middle School, I had never seen Fabian Hernandez. We were close friends but because we attended different high schools we drifted apart. We are both from Mexican parents, but had not traveled to Mexico. Years later, after I marry, we visit one of my wife’s uncles in Mexico City. I love going to theme parks, so we decided to go to Six Flags Mexico. When we were waiting in line for a ride, Fabian, who was also waiting in line, recognized me. He was visiting his wife family in Mexico City as well. After talking for a while, it turns out we live just a couple of blocks away in Salinas, CA, yet we came across in a different country. What are the odds?!
