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.
I had been asked to join a new group of tennis players on a private court. There are about seven of us.
The girl who owns the court lives about ten minutes drive away from where I live.
Last year the girl who owns the court went to Australia to visit her son who was living there. We continued to play tennis on her court while she was away. The first Monday of her holiday I returned home from playing tennis and there was a message on my answer phone from her saying, "You won't believe this but I had dinner with your cousin who is also my cousin!" Her Grandmother was a sister of my cousin's mother and my Father was the brother of my cousin's Father. What a small world!
