Seeing them again

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.

When I was much younger (13 or so) my friend and I were in myrtle beach S.C and on our last night of the trip we were on the boardwalk (an hour from where we were staying) when a group of cute baseball players about our age came up and asked to take a picture with us. We were so excited by the event and kept talking abut it. All the next day I kept joking and saying “look there they are!” Just to get my friend excited- probably 20 times that day. That night we left our hotel and started driving back home up north. About 5 hours into the trip we pulled over to stop for dinner st Carabas. When we were seated we saw that we had been sat next to no other than those same guys!! Ended up getting a second picture with them
