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.
Mr wife and I were living in Devon and went to visit my brother and sister-in-law in rural Suffolk during which we went for a walk in the countryside.
On our return home my wife discovered she had lost an expensive heavy gold charm bracelet so on the off-chance we 'phoned my sister-in-law to see if she had left it there. My sister-in-law found nothing in the house but said she would retrace our walk just to see.
A little while later she 'phone with the good news that she'd found the bracelet and would send it to us by post. The package duly arrived and sure enough it contained a heavy gold charm bracelet. The only problem was it wasn't my wife's.
