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.
Sorry, I gave the wrong email address in the version I sent earlier.
Studying Italian A level as mature student. Chose Mafia as oral topic (free choice of topic, not on/from syllabus). Obscure important anti-mafia judge called Giovanni Falcone. Found book in Italian on Falcone in Italian specialist bookshop. Struggled to read/understand it.
At top of my street, people sometimes dump rubbish by railway line. Saw book dumped, with tile "F a l c o n ", one month before exam. assumed about falconry/birds, but on Falcone, in English.
Tremendous exam help and very improbable unlikely, amazing, coincidence.
