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.

On one family holidy in the Lake District in the erly 80's we met a family on Helvelyn who we had previously met that summer in France. We had never met them before or since. On the same trip we met, on Langdale Pikes, the person who had just interviewed my mum for a job back at home over 100 miles away (she didn't know thatn, but she'd got the job).
