Mother's friend

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.

After my mother died, my father left the Midlands and went to live in a small village in Cornwall. He did not normally drink, but felt that the local pub would be a good place to make new friends. He had been there some months before he discovered that the pub landlady had been in the same class as my mother at school, in the Midlands.
