Midas Touch

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.
Last night I was watching Forensic Detectives,which is an Australian Police series which follows real cases.
For some reason the song 'Midas Touch' came into my head,which I began to sing.
On the TV programme,the police detective explained that the name given to the series of investigations they were doing was 'Operation Midas'!
Either it was a bizarre coincidence,or I had just found the reason why the song came into my head!
