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.
I went to the old chip shop in Edinburgh and ordered a smoked sausage as I did as a student. As I ate it at the stand-up counter, get this - at the very next place next to mine - you won't believe this, there was a guy eating a smoked sausage! Deja-vu and coincidence and improbability theory rolled into one.
