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.

My daughter was born in Morogoro, a small township l50 miles inland from Dar es Salaam. We returned to UK, and 30 years later ended up in Ilfracombe in North Devon running a small restaurant. My daughter was waitressing one evening and talking to a family of Asians, and the talk got round to birthplaces. They asked where Claire was born, and when she said Morogoro, Tanzania, the patriarch of the family slapped his knee in complete disbelief. His family ran the hotel in Morogoro. Coincidence?
