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.

I was on holiday in spain in 1999 and met some guys who lived in the UK, we had a few drinks together and got on well. After saying our fairwells we returned back to the UK. A couple of days later I thought I would ring may mam to tell her about the holiday, I must have miss keyed her home telephone number as one of the guys who I met on holiday aswered the phone even though I had never been given his number ? His number was only one digit differant from my mothers.
