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 25 years ago I was chatting to my then father-in-law in his house. We were talking about his wider family. He mentioned that he had a brother named Douglas whom he had not seen nor heard from for 20 years. As he was speaking I looked over his shoulder to the road outside. A car drew up. I said 'looks like you have a visitor.' It was Douglas.
