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 was walking along a remote and utterly deserted mile long beach in Tobago when figure appeared in the distance. Beach is crowded today , I joked to my pal. He replied sardonically, Hmm, bet it's a German. Indeed it was a German and as he drew near he said Good morning Mr Scarlatti. Turned out he was the stage manager of a theatre venue in Berlin where I had performed in a show about the famous composer for the harpsichord.. My pal was very impressed.
