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.

Hello, My coincence experience happend on a late shift when I worked as a shift manager for a car rental company. Our fleet dept was very dis organised and I had asked the branch manager to sort this out to a response that she was not willing to spend money to get people in to re network the computers. I am fairly savvi with computers so decided to take it upon my self to re organise the whole office. I did take on a big undertakening but persisted and got the job done. I was just finishing off replacing the carpet and I cut through the network cable. This was a disaster as the mornings deliveries would not be received and I could not re joint the cable. Jus as I cut through the cable the office phone rang and I thought this must be some sort of i.t support picked up that I cut the cable. I answered the phone and a chap introduced himself as the rental companies it support engineer. He explained that his vehicle had been vandalised and I was the only branch open at 1am. I sorted him a car and he had the tools with him to rejoin the network cable!!!!!! The more I thought about this driving home that night, the more it seemed Devine ??
