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.
We go out in Brighton with my friend Grant, jumping from empty bar to empty bar, and end up in one with an arcade machine that has a game called Hex on it, one of my favourite games. We play a couple of times, and one of the categories at one point is Simpsons Episodes, which we of course choose. I get the answer, it is "Bart Gets Hit by a Car".
The following morning we go to have breakfast, we find a place round the corner from the hotel and sit by the window. A truck parks just outside the place, and I spot a Bart Simpson plush stuck to the front grill, as if it had been hit by the truck.
