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 1974 there were three engineers working for the Electricity Supply authority in Zambia (Zesco), one in the Commercial department, one was Chief Draughtsman and I was Senior Planning Engineer. Our careers took very different paths but in 1982 the three of us met up again. We were all working in what was then North Yemen and each of us was a Resident Engineer, one in Sana'a, the Capital and the other two of us in the other main towns of Taiz and Hodeidah.
