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.
This happened in approx the year 2000. One evening, a friend and I were trying, unsuccessfully, to remember the theme tune to the 1980s TV series "Tales of the Unexpected" (by Roald Dahl). The next day, I was walking down the road and a busker was playing the theme tune on his harmonica! Doubly bizarre wouldn't you say?!
