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 went travelling to Australia with a friend as part of a round the world trip. We stayed at a backpackers hostel in Sydney then continued on to New Zealand and she then went home and I went back to Sydney to try and find a job. As I didn't know anyone in Sydney I returned to the same hostel we'd previously stayed at. When I got there the reception had closed for lunch 5 mins before. With a heavy rucksack I decided to go next door and booked into the neighbouring hostel and there I met my husband to be (who lived 30mins away in the UK). We would not have met if the hostel hadn't shut for lunch.
