Two people meet on the train and start talking about me

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.

Two people I know, who did not know each other, in Sweden (where people do not usually engage in conversation on trains), not only started to talk on a train trip between Malmo and Göteborg but discovered that they had a friend in common, me.
