Apple cake

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.
When I was pregnant with my second child in 1983 I had a craving to eat apple cake. I had never eaten apple cake before but my imagination informed me of it's texture, taste etc. After 3 or 4 days of these cravings I happened to call on my mother (with whom I had had no contact for at least a week). I was greeted with 'I'm glad you came, I've made you a cake, it's an apple cake, I've never made one before' !
