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.

Several years ago my son purchased an old reel to reel tape recorder from a car boot sale in Henley upon Thames. Along with the tape recorder were 2 pre recorded tapes. The tapes contained a message that appeared to be from a son working in Africa to his family in the UK. Imagine my sons surprise when the son made reference to his ex headmaster in Gloucester who happened to be my nephews grandfather who now lived in Yorkshire.
