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.
Back in 1988, I attended the funeral of a very good friend. I never went to his graveside until 10 years later. This was a weekday afternoon as I had the day of work, as i spent some time at his graveside a taxi pulled up and a woman got out, I recognised her as my friends girlfriend - amazingly she had also decided to visit the graveside for the first time at exactly the same time as me. To me this is my greatest ever coincidence - where we drawn together by my friends spirit??? It still gives me goosebumps every item i think about it.
