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.
Customer Service were discounting my friend's christmas tree which they had just over charged her for. Like a child I was repeating in my head my friends pin number for her card as I was sure I'd need to use it. As I stood talking to the lady she started reading my friend's pin number to me. I so wanted to say something but it was obviously inappropriate. She ended the 4 digits with an additional number 1. It turns out it was the product code on the christmas tree.
