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.

At least three times each week, I wake up in the night (either to go to the loo, turn over, or realise I've fallen asleep and my book socks me in the eye) - and on glancing at the bedside digital clock find that the time is either: 1.11 2.22 3.33 4.44 5.55. This has been happening for several years, and at first I found it quite spooky, but now I just smile and cuddle back under the duvet.
