A holiday coincidence
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.
On holiday in Austria with parents. Out for walk with mum. Dad stayed in hotel room reading on balcony. Called out "Arthur" underneath the balcony to attract his attention. A man appeared a couple of balconies further along to see who was caling him. Turned out he too was called Arthur and lived half a mile away in the same town in England. Not only this we knew the family!!!! Bizarre or what! Talked about this one for years.
