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.

Dear Professor,
Another coincidence for your department, some time ago I was on a coach outing with the Chingford Historical Society. Between cultural spots, I happened to buy a ‘1984’ paperback from a used book stand. Later in the day, a question was asked, the prize, a bag of sweets! When did we last visit today’s main attraction?
I had no idea but I proffered 1984. I won the bag of sweets!
Yours sincerely,
Colin Lutman
