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.

As a child, I lived in Columbia, Maryland for 5 years. We moved to Frankfurt, Gemany when I was 13. About a year and a half after living in Frankfurt, I was with a friend taking his friend to Frankfurt International Airport so he could return to the United States. As we were standing in line at the ticket counter, a girl turned around and we immediately recognized each other- she and her family lived across the street from us when we lived in Columbia, Maryland.
