A Blast from the Past.

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.

Following my divorce I lost total contact with my Ex Wife, several years after the divorce I was on Holiday with my then new partner, we were both looking into a new avenue of employment so we decided to look at some Guests Houses at the resort we were staying at, we got a list of Guest Houses in the Area that were for sale, One in particular took our fancy but the Estate Agent was unable to arrange a viewing appointment so we returned home, later the following week I was chatting to a Friend who also knew my Ex and told them of our intentions and that the Estate Agent had managed to book a viewing appointment for the following weekend, the friend looked at me in shock, then said do you realise who the owner of that property is == its your Ex Wife,!!! Needless to say we never took up the appointment, It would have been rather embarrassing if we had knocked on the door and she had answered.
