    If the world had 100 people

    I found this video quite surprising.

    Thanks for the link! Fascinating how easy it is to understand stats when it is boiled down so simply.

    Who was that really fascinating chap who did a programme a couple of years back on people/ demographics etc. It was a truly fascinating lecture…. Similar kinds of stats to these

    They had the less and greater than signs the wrong way round I think…

    Hans died a few months ago so no new stuff but he left a huge legacy.

    There was a good obituary on more or less which mentioned that in addition to the communication he was a great epidemiologist, for example playing an important role in the recent Ebola outbreak, he got straight on a plane when he saw what was happening. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04sbvlt

    we wouldn't have to worry about house prices and pension costs anymore.

    Great link and I download more or less, but, may have missed that

    Now you mention it, I do recall that he died recently, a great shame...

    Is there a place to download any further radio and TV stuff that he did?
