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.
Just by chance a couple of weeks ago on my journeys home when glancing at my speedo i noticed the mileage each time i looked at it would be all the same numbers starting 66.6miles, 77.7miles, then 99.9. The next morning 111.1miles.
