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.

My Mom had just arrived on holiday in Portugal, when putting clothes away in the wardrobe she noticed a wooden coat hanger with her maiden name printed on it. On closer inspection she realized it belonged to her brother as it also had his Army service number on it, he was amazed to get it back after almost 40 years!
