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.
In 1968 I was sent on a course in Kingston-upon-Thames and stayed in lodgings nearby. About 5 years ago my son & family bought a house and moved from north London to Claygate in Surrey. I told him that I'd lodged in the area but couldn't remember whereabouts although Esher, Hinchley Wood & Claygate sounded familiar.
Recently I was making chutney & asked my husband to fetch some jamjars from the garage. He seemed to be for ever but when he returned he was holding a letter, no jamjars of course. He said you're not going to believe this & handed me the letter which I had written to him whilst on my course in 1968. (Before we were married). Upon looking at the address it was the very same house that my son bought & still lives in but I had not recognized it as it had obviously altered considerably over the years. Speaking to the neighbour she remembered the original owner that had been there when I lodged there.
