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.

My husband was staying with a friend in New York just before travelling across the US. His friend was expecting 2 other friends to join her who were travelling the US from the west coast over to New York. When he was on his journey, he stopped at a diner. It was pretty empty but there were 2 other English people having their meal there. Being a gregarious soul he stopped to have chat with them. Of course they were the 2 other friends on route to his friend in New York. They then bought a post card and all signed it and sent it to their New York friend. They had never met before.
