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 2002 My wife and I were on a river cruise on the river Li in South West China. There were lots of Tourists and we got chatting to a very nice French gentleman, at that time we was living in Exeter in Devon, to which he replied that it was a coinsidence that his daughter was studying at Exeter University, at that time my son was working in Versailles in Paris, I asked him where in France does he live, he replied Paris, Oh I replied, where abouts in Paris? he replied Versailles, I was astonished at the double coinsidence.
