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 have this thing about me that seems to attract people with the same name to me consecutively. It has happened to throughout my life. Most of the people I meet have the same name. Growing up I had five best friends all called Carly, one after the other. The first three guy I dated when I was a teen where called Ben Then I dated or became close friends with seven daniels,Dans or Dannys. I have five friends named David, They all do the same job.I have met five peoplen named Paul, all of the pauls have been or are still in the armed forces. At the same time i seem to come into contact with all kinds of people that have these names at the time that particluar name is in play. The delivery triver will be called Paul, the man at the till, the waiter, the taxi driver,the man at the end of the customer service call, they will all be called Paul. One of the Pauls I dated didnt tell me he was married, when i found out it turned out that his wife had the same name as me, she did the same job as me, the looked like me and we had lots in common when we spoke.
