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.
In the early 90s I dated a guy for a few months in Cork, Ireland, where we were both from. I emigrated to the US and we lost touch. 18 years later I moved to Cambridge and within a month I had a message on Linked in from my ex. I had popped up as somebody he might know and he was living in Cambridge too. We are now a very happy couple! We would love to know the mathematical probability of that happening.
