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.
Having moved to a new home, I was probably subconciously looking for some reassurance that this was a good move. Setting off down the street to the shop for the first time, the 4th house down on the right had its number and name on the gate. The number of the house was the same as the number of the house I grew up in, and the name of the house was the name of the Street (Close) that my growing up house was in. So, saying the number and name together gave an immediate feeling of reassurance, which recurs each time I walk to the shop.
