Moon River

As of the 23rd May 2022 this website is archived and will receive no further updates.

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.

There is an advert running at the moment for Galaxy chocolate,featuring the song 'Moon River',which makes me laugh as it is the song Chevy Chase sings when he suffers a proctology exam in the movie 'Fletch'. I recently explained the cause of my humour to my partner and this morning (5th July) the Galaxy ad was on which set me laughing again. My partner remarked 'You watch,now that you have told me about that,they will screen the movie.' At 11pm tonight I am sat here watching the very movie and the very scene that I had referenced this morning!
