The case of the black panther banana charger
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.
Another couple of online v TV connections today.
I was discussing a passage in the bible which reads 'you will know them by their fruits' which was referring to an image featuring coincidental peaches which looked like human genitals.
I had also posted an article from the paper about the movie 'Black Panther'
I had cause to particular mention the fruit 'banana' to my friend with respect to the fruit image.
As I turned over the page of the paper,it referred to the 'top personal chargers' for personal gadgets. My friend then proceeded to tell me he had been eating a banana,and had dropped his charger in his coffee!
At the same time the TV programme "New Tricks" which had already mentioned 'cherry picking' and 'forming patterns' as well as a sideways reference to the female reproduction organ,then went on to mention 'The black panther' murder,as opposed to the superhero I had just posted online.
