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 have recently noticed a lot of coincidences in my life between age and date. Where the same numbers occur in my age to the numbers that occur in the date of the year, it seems there is a significant change to my life soon after. In 1961 I turned 16 and met my future husband. We didn't have much to do with each other until we met again in 1971. We decided to marry in 1972 when I was 27. The date of our marriage was the 27th January 1973. On this date my father's age was 65 years 10 months and my mother's age was 62 years 9 months. If you add the years together the total is 127 years. My husband and I bought our first house when I was 38 in 1983. The dynamics of our marriage changed significantly in 1994 when I was 49. and we ultimately decided to divorce in 2001 after 27 years of marriage. It is now 2017 and I am 71 years 11 months. I will be 72 in October. If we were still married it would be 45 years since our marriage on the 27th January 2018. If my parents were still alive my father would be 110 years and my mother would be 107 years, if we add these the total is 217 years, these are the same numbers but in a different sequence to when we were married. These numbers also correspond to 2017. Numerology seems to assign the same numbers for life events to everyone. I believe that we seem to have a specific set of numbers that resonate with our lives, each set of numbers is unique to each person.
