Herman the German!

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.

A couple of weeks ago, my friend gave me a cake mixture called Herman the German Friendship cake which you mix and tend to for 10 days, then make a cake out of it and give the rest to your friends to pass on. Well, about a week ago, my dad was talking to his facebook frie nd (Patrick)about the cake. Then Patrick told my dad how his mother had started off the cake mixture while living in Germany!
