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.

About 12 years ago, my aunt and i visited relations in New Hampshire America , the only time i had visited, we were invited to a cousins graduation in Boston. Whilst there we did some sightseeing and stopped to talk to a policeman on horseback. Another tourist tapped me on the shoulder and said "excuse me i hear from your accent you are Welsh, which part of the country do you come from ?. I said South Wales a town which you probably don,t know . we then established he did indeed know the town, the street i used to live on and that he lived in the row in front of mine and we had both lived there at the same time. This would have been back in the 1970,s.,
