The number 137
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.
Can't be a coincidence ... the number 137 is constantly coming into my life ... raffle ticket wins, house key code number, tax code, countless, constant seemingly insignificant incidences (code given for car park on daughter's wedding day, torn scrap of paper sticking out under friend's oven - catalogue page 137 etc etc) - then Radio Times requested people write in with stories of inexplicable events and I was wondering whether they would be interested in my '137' events. The page number with the contact details?? ... page 137!!
