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.
Back in 1985 I worked in Switzerland. One Sunday, with nothing to do, I drove into the mountains above Montreux. I came across a small town called Glion. As it was a sunny day I sat down on the terrace of the railway cafe and ordered a hot chocolate. I then settled down to read my book, Scott Fitzgerald's 'Tender is the night'. In the chapter I read the main characters cycle to Glion, stop at the railway cafe and order a hot chocolate.
