		<description><![CDATA[I can highly recommend Marcus du Sautoy&#8216;s video on the Guardian&#8217;s new Newton channel, exploring the world of chance and probability. The good professor shows how probabilities become counter-intuitive as soon as a modicum of complexity is introduced. We all know that the chance of guessing heads on a coin-flip is one-in-two, and it&#8217;s fairly [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=newsnumeracy.wordpress.com&#038;blog=7113977&#038;post=395&#038;subd=newsnumeracy&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

The BBC Middle East correspondent had started to tell listeners to the Today radio programme that the Syrian pound had &#8220;lost 100% of its value&#8221; when he suddenly realised the impossibility of what he was saying. Referring to the way in which the Syrian economy had suffered, he pointed out that the Syrian pound was trading at around 100 to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=newsnumeracy.wordpress.com&#038;blog=7113977&#038;post=356&#038;subd=newsnumeracy&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
