A friend's neighbour I just met

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.
I met a woman who was my friend's neighbour for many years but whom she rarely spoke to.
This woman was born 7 years before me - a Cancerian, born 9 days before my birthday. Her family is from the same city in Poland, spent the war years in the same city in Uzbekistan which is an Asian Republic and returned back to Poland and the same time as my parents. The two families have the German name (although as far as we know are not related). Her family left Poland again this time 4 years before my family. The woman's ex husband's first name is the same as my husbands first name. Her youngest daughter's name is the same as my daughter's name. Her daughter is older. Her ex-husband is born the same month as my husband. Her daughter's birthday is one day before my daughter's. Her daughter went to the same primary school and university as my daughter. There are many other schools and universities in Melbourne that they could have chosen.
