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 a week, still no sign, until March 10 when suddenly she was born.<br /> My late wife's birthday is March 10.<br /> Co-incidence, or what?
