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.
Last week I went to hospital for a colonoscopy (everything OK). The next day I phoned my brother, who lives 200 miles away, because I hadn't had time to let him know beforehand. It turned out that he'd had a colonoscopy on the same day and, within half an hour, at the same time.
