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.
On Christmas morning 2011 the television was on in another room. My daughter suggested we put some Christmassy music on so I fired up my laptop and inserted my CD of 'Favourite Christmas Songs'. The first track came on which is John Lennon's Happy Xmas - my son went into the room where the television was on, and not only was the same song playing, but it was playing at exactly the same place in the song - stereo from TV to CD. Amaxing!
