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 was working in a video store in 1994. I was recommending a film called 'school ties' to a customer, and who should walk in Just moments later?? the star of the film- Brendan Fraser!! he had stepped into the store to get out of the pouring rain. After I had stopped screaming-'aaaahggghhh I can't believe it!! Brendan Fraser !! i was only just talking about you', he stopped for a quick chat, signed the School Ties video box sleeve, then asked if i had a brolly he could have - i said 'no' and then he left the store. I couldn't believe it. What a coincidence!
