speaking to friend at hairdressers

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.

having arrived at the hairdressers for my hair to be coloured and cut, i was thinking about a friend whom i was supposed to be meeting later that day for drinks. my phone rang-it was her, that was the first coincidence, as we were chatting about the place to meet and what time, i told her i was in town getting my hair done, and she told me that she was, we laughed at the coincidence, then i asked her which salon she was in, and the was in the same one as me, only downstairs so we missed each other as i came in and went straigt upstairs. that was the second coincidence. the third coincidence is that when i went downstairs to go and see her, we realised we were wearing the same coat, that we both had bought new the day before.(this was especially bizare as the coat in question was a totally different style and colour that either of us would normally go for)
