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 met someone on an online gaming community who shares most of my primary interests including very specific likes and dislikes. Down to having the same personal habits, and small things like favorite color and other preferences. Our birthdays, while 6 months apart, are on the same day, and the same year. We live at opposite ends of the continent and different countries. We even have slightly similar physical features. I am female and the other person is male. Coincidental probably on a very low level, but the odds of finding someone who seemingly shares all those personal habits, likes and dislikes in my own life has been an extremely surprising thing to discover.
