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 husband & I have been married for 27 years & when we met we were quite startled by the number of coincidences we shared.
We were both at midnight.
We both have the same middle name, Frances.
I went to school at Holy Cross Convent in Chalfont St Peter, Bucks, my husband went to Holy Cross Grammar in Hamilton, Scotland.
We both studied at Central Polytechnic in London, albeit at different times.
My maiden name was Hamilton, he was born & grew up in a town called Hamilton in Scotland.
My father worked for approx. 30 years at Lyons Maid in Greenford & my husband ended up getting a job at Lyons Tetley on the same site in Greenford.
Looking at this written down it doesn't seem that many coincidences, but I've never known anyone else who shares 1 or even 2 coincidences with me in a similiar way.
