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.
We were on holiday in Spain at a village called Calella, we decided to go by train to Barcelona for the day. After spending the day In the city we were making our way back to the station, and standing in a packed La Rambla, watching buskers, when an English male voice suggested that my wife should watch her handbag upon her shoulder, we turned around to be greeted by our son and our Australian daughter in law, who live in Brisbane Australia. They were on their way to us in England as a surprise visit the following week, and were in Barcelona for one day. They had no idea that we were not at home, we of course could not imagine that they were anywhere but in Australia.
