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.
It was a long time ago before mobiles. I was about 15 walking through town asked a phone rang in Lloyds avenue arches Ipswich and I walked over to answer I knew who it was and they asked for me. It was weeiirrdd. I will never forget it. I exclaimed my incredulity to them telling them I was at a public phone cubicle and I just happened to answer it. The details are hazy now it was 30 years ago but I remember it ringing and answering it and the shock of it. I seem to remember the friend on the phone didn't seem to understand what was happening, the coincidence of it. I am going to go and look at the phone number of the phone when in town next to see if it is similar our home phone at the time.
