Birthdays with a twist..

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.

I appreciate that the chances of sharing a birthday with a relative is not so great, but my mother gave birth to twins on her birthday.. To further add to it my girlfriend who I met through an internet site was born on the same day, and in the same year.. So on May 8th next year I'll be reaching the big 4-0 with both my brother and my girlfriend.. Misery for all three of us.. all on my mother's birthday..
