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.
After a long day at work I decided that rather than stopping at my regular stop I would continue into Sheffield and watch a Friday evening game in the 6 Nations.
On leaving the station I jumped in a taxi and asked the driver to take me to a pub which would be showing the match and served decent beer, which he duly did.
At half time I was talking to another chap on the table and discussing other sporting interests we both explained our keen interest in rock climbing and then realised that we had climbed together some 20 years before.
What makes the co-incidence more extraordinary is that my pal had only recently moved to the area, had only decided to go to the pub that evening and had also randomly chosen the pub where we met as his regular was showing some football.
