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.

CLAIRVOYANCE - is anyone brave enough to research this subject? One Saturday morning, I drove about thirty miles to visit a 'clairvoyant' recommended to me. The first thing she said to me was; "In ten days there will be a reunion." I was then unwise in entering into a discussion* with her as to which of two male friends this may involve. She asked: is either of these people involved with precious metals because I see a wedding ring in his pocket. This does not mean a ring; it is symbolic - gold. She also asked is either of these possibilities in business - I see him wearing a pinstripe suit - this is not literal but symbolises business. Ten days later, when I had forgotten the prediction, I heard my front gate open and looked up to see my ex-husband walking up my garden path, wearing a pinstripe suit. I was living in Surbiton and he was living in Sutton Coldfield and I had not seen him for any reason for some years. During our chat I learned that the reason he was there was that his second wife was having and affair and it was clear to him this marriage was going to end. (Wedding ring in pocket). And he was exploring the possibility of a new start for the two of us. This is only one of several accurate predictions I have been given and yet it seems there continues to be a reluctance to explore this phenomena - and it always attributed to coincidence or the subject has somehow fed the information to the medium - despite the fact they have no knowledge of it. Even more unlikely, I would have thought!
