coincidence or what?
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.
About 35 years ago a teenage patient caught mumps. Not an unusual occurrence.
However, his identical twin brother caught mumps at the same time. Again, not very strange.
Except that the brothers had been separated when very young and one was in London and the other was in
Sydney, Australia.
