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 partner of 29 years, on changing jobs two years ago and had to hand back his company mobile and get a new number. His new number ends 554926. I was born in 1955 at 4am in September on the 26th. Another odd coincidence Prior to my last visit my sister in South Africa asked if I wanted her, in my absence, to apply at our gym for a PIN Number for me to access the WIFI facility there, so I would be able to use the connection immediately on arrival. When she called me back and gave me the code it was identical to the five digit code I always use when a PIN is required on any of my accounts. I thought I must have previously given her my own code and that she was confusing that with the new one issued. The new one was identical to the old.
