Discus on the meniscus
As of the 23rd May 2022 this website is archived and will receive no further updates.
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.
Another weird coincidence last night: I was talking about the scene in Jason & the argonauts where the guy beats hercules at discus by skipping the discus on the meniscus (!?),getting his place on the Argo.
A few minutes later,I saw 'coastal walks with my dog' on which I had told my other about. I put it on to see Bill Bailey skipping stones over the sea surface!?
