Sisters think alike

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.

I am 52 and live in Edinburgh. My 2 younger sisters (49 and 47) live in the Midlands and Essex. We haven't spent a Christmas together in 15 years and see each other on average about once a year. For Christmas 2010, we each bought each other the exact same Marks and Spencer necklace. I bought one for the middle sister, she gave one to the youngest and my youngest sister gave one to me.
