Same birthday

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 sixties my friend ended up sharing a flat with two other women in Edinburgh....on discussing their birthdays one day my friend had exactly the same birthday as one of her flatmates, and the same place of birth (a small village hospital in the Highlands)....after investigations it turned out that their mothers were in adjacent beds in that hospital!
