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.

One evening when my husband and I were on our honeymoon in Brussels we walked quite a way out of the city centre and we met Bryan, the husband of my best friend in Oxford. He was visiting the European Commission for his work and was taking an evening walk with his colleague, Brian. A few days later my husband and I were walking to the railway station to go on to stay with friends in Germany when we met my boss from Oxford. He was also called Brian. Given that my husband's name is Brian, I felt a little outnumbered on this trip. Jo
