Leap Years
As of the 23rd May 2022 this website is archived and will receive no further updates.
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.
A close member of my family seems to die in leap years. My maternal grandfather died in 1988, my maternal grandmother died in 1992, my paternal grandfather died in 1996, my paternal grandmother died in 2000 and my father died in 2004. Luckily only a pet hamster died in 2008 but we are all a bit wary about 2012........!!
