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.

On holiday in Halkidiki (mainland Greece) in 1983. Got friendly with a family, and they introduced us to a young couple on the beach whom they had met in the hotel. During conversation, it turned out that my wife ( both she and I grew up in the same Leicestershire village) had used to push this young girl in her pram with her twin sister round the village when in her teens.
