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 bought a red Fiesta LX in Cyprus (UK forces)and then 6 months later I drove it back to the UK and registered it at the Chester Office of the DVLA and was given the number J224 HMA. About 3 1/2 years years later I had to go on a course at a shopping centre towards London.
Someone at the office had a red Fiesta with the number J225 HMA. I spoke to the owner and it turns out that they had there car shipped over from Germany (UK forces).
So two red fiesta's one difference in reg number, both comeing from overseas registered in the same area and parking next to each other near London. I have always wondered what the odds are on that.
