Cell Phone Dies

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.

My brother and I were talking last night (he in Calgary, me in Ontario) and my phone went dead (forgot to put in charger). I plugged in, waited for enough charge to call him when he messaged me on FB to apologize because he forgot to put his charger in and his phone died. At the exact same time! What are the chances that. BTW, this brother and I also have a tendency to choose the same obscure passwords. Not twins, I am 4 years older.
