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.

My life long friend married a solicitor who worked on divorce settlements. They live in Sussex.
When I started a new job in Cambridge, a work colleague told me she used to live in Sussex. 'Oh', I said my friend lives there, then she told me the area, my friend lives there, then she told me the road, my friend lives there. She told me as part of her divorce settlement she sold some of her garden to her solicitor, the one who is married to my life-long friend. My lifelong friends built there house on the land and the colleague's daughter lives in her Mum's house next door! This was in 1985 and both families are still there.
