Birthday Cards

As of the 23rd May 2022 this website is archived and will receive no further updates.

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 brother,Mark,went to work in the Falklands several years ago. I am (Kim) I live in Maidstone,my sister Carol lives in London & my youngest sister Tracy lives in Horsmonden,Tonbridge. When it was Mark's birthday on 22nd November all of us sisters sent the exact same birthday card. We didn't know this until my brother told us,he thought it was some sort of joke. When he came home he brought the cards to show us. Quite unbelievable.
