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.

When I was 14 I went on a cycling holiday in Austria with my parents. Another family on the holiday had children about my age and we got on quite well. The father of the family was a journalist with The Times newspaper. A couple of months after the holiday I went down to stay with them in London and they took me to visit The Times offices. After this we eventually lost contact. However 2 years later when I sat down to site my GCSE english exam I opened the paper and found that the article selected for comprehension was from The Times, written by the father of my friends and about the cycling holiday we had been on in Austria.
