Reunited with lost item

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.
In the 1980s I was into spiritual healing and always carried a small pouch of semi-precious stones which meant various things to me. I realised one day I'd lost it and it could have been some distance away, I rode a motorbike and went away for weekends, so I never thought about it further.
A couple of years later a new guy started working in the company I worked for. He realised I was into the spiritual stuff and said 'oh, my daughter found a bag of stones, would you like them?' - I said yes. He brought them into work - and it was my bag of stones, intact.
I don't carry them any more, I keep them safe at home! They were meant to be returned to me.
