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.

My mother's favourite tune in the 50's was 'Beware my Foolish Heart'. It was a beautiful song but I have never heard it played since. I was travelling down to Sydney last year with my husband and we stopped off at a hotel in Bangkok for 3 days. On arrival we walked into the lobby and a pianist was playing this song. I couldn't believe it and it brought back such lovely memories. On our way back from Sydney we stopped over again at the same hotel for a further 3 days and during both our stays there I never once saw a pianist playing the piano in the lobby let alone playing 'Beware my Foolish Heart'.
