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 early September of 1997 my husband and I were in the British Airways Club Lounge at Heathrow Aiport Terminal 4. My husband pointed out a guy to me, saying he thought it was Jasper Carrott. I took a good look at him, as discreetly as possible and told my husband that it wasn't Jasper Carrott. We looked again and my husband then agreed that he'd been mistaken. A while later we decided to stretch our legs and have a wander around the duy-free shops, walking past the lookalike on the way. As we exited the Club Lounge a man entered and we did a double take when we realised it was the real Jasper Carrott.
