Car registration coincedence

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.

As neighbours who have become close friends, we make a habit of celebrating 'big' birthdays together. It was Kevin's 60th a few years back and we travelled with him and his wife Mo to London for the day. We had secretly booked a table at Manzi's Restaurant, an old haunt of his near Leicester Square. As we approached the restaurant we spotted a beautiful, black, shiny Mercedes sports car parked outside - the registration of which was K3V MO. He was convinced that we had arranged this in advance and still has the photo to mark the coincidence!
