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 was working at an Aussie roadhouse (petrol station, cafe, shop,camping ground) on the west coast of Australia when I went backpacking in 2001. I served an English couple who had midlands accents so asked them where they were from as I'm from Birmingham. It turned out after chatting that I went to school with the girl's brother and we had been in all the same classes for 5 years of high school. The place was in the middle of nowhere, about 100 miles from the nearest town. It definitely brightened my day as the woman who I worked for was mental!!
