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 parents put some old bedroom furniture in a local sales room to sell. They managed to sell it. About 6 months later they were on holiday about 200 miles away from where they lived and booked into a bed and breakfast which was well off the beaten track. When they were shown to their room there was their furniture theyknew it was theirs as it had the handles on my dad had replaced and a mark on the top which they recognised. They asked the owners and they said that their sister had got it for them and it turned out she lived in the same town as my mum and dad.
