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.
I went rock climbing with a friend last Saturday.
The weird thing is that neither of us knew that the other one was going. We didn't even know that the other was into climbing.
We independently picked the same instructor, who isn't based in our home city, and ended up going on the same day out of a choice of five. We were the only ones with him that day too.
