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.
In January 2008 I was in the early courtship days with my husband, and we were driving north from
San Fransisco on a road trip adventure. We didn't have any music on in the car, but I suddenly had a song come to mind...''Going to California' by Led Zeppelin. I mentioned that song to him and he said I could get his iPod from the glovebox, because he had the song on there & I could put it on. I fiddled for a few mintues, but couldn't figure out how to select a song (it was in random mode), so I just thought we'd listen to anything. The first song to play (out of over 1000!) was 'Going to California'! We had a great laugh. :-)
