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.

Something amazing has just happened. In 1998, I lost my gorgeous solid silver bracelet when I was out one night in Southampton. It was a present from my mother who had carried it around with since she acquired it in the '70s. I was absolutely mortified that I'd lost it! Earlier today, 15 years later, I happened to see one that looked JUST like it on 'Facebay Southampton', on sale for £20. I bought it right away and I'm almost certain that it is exactly the same one; it's even got the same little dent! I'm so happy and I can't wait to show my mother!
