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.
In 2007 I went with my family to New York for a holiday. One day we decided to visit the top of the Empire State Building. As usual in such a popular tourist spot there were lots of other people milling about. My son said to me 'arnt you going to say hello?' I turned around to see one of my neighbours and her daughter, who just happened to also be in New York and had decided to visit the building at the exact time we did.
