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.

In 2001, i met my now husband on the net. I was recently divorce. I am malaysian and he is american. When we were chatting & trying to get to know each other, we got to birthdays. I jokingly said to him, "i hope its not 17 Sept!" He asked, "why not? What's wrong with 17 Sept?". My reply, "it is my ex husband's birthday". Ended up, both my ex & now husband share the same birthday! People tease me about marrying the wrong person the fiirst time! However, their year is different.
