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 the 1940s I spent a few months as a patient in an RAF hospital, luckily quite near my parents' home so they were able to visit me quite frequently. One day while there I thought that I would like to read again a book called "Essays in Satire" by Ronald Knox and decided to ask my father, the next time he visited me, to bring it in on his next visit. That afternoon my father visited me, bringing with him "Essays in Satire" which he thought I might enjoy reading.
