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.

My husband and I were on holiday (from the Midlands) with our young son in Spain, one February. At the hotel was a family from the North of England, with children the same age as our son. In the evening, after the children were asleep, we would sit and chat togeher in the bar. We left without exchanging addresses. Later the same year, in the summer, we were camping in the New Forest, and visited Bucklers Hard. As we were going in, the same family were just coming out - they were on a sailing holiday, and had moored in the harbour.
