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 1986 we moved house and already had a cottage in Cornwall. Our neighbours in both houses were named David and Jutta. Jutta is not a particularly common German name. In both cases they had one daughter and a cat. The daughters were much the same age but called a different name! Jutta still lives next door to us at home, sadly her David died. The Jutta in Cornwall took her daughter and went back to live in Germany and a divorce ensued. Still quite a coincidence.
