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.
As a child my family went to live in Africa in connection with my father's job. When we arrived the company put us up in temporary accommodation in a hotel on the sea front. A few weeks later in conversation with my father's brother we realised that this was the same hotel he had been billeted in during the war, 30 years earler.
