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.
About a year ago I moved from Cologne to Dresden (Germany), where I found a really nice flat with an extremely friendly landlady. We became friends instantly and so she invited me to her birthday party, where I met her daugther, who's almost exactly my age. I found her on facebook some time later and only then realised that we both had a common friend. Turns out that a good friend of mine who I had been to school with from year 1 and who had gone to Africa after we finished school was now living in Berlin, where he had met my landlady's daughter. They had actually been dating for over a year, so my landlady and all her friends knew him as well.
