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.
Darts evening Circa 1963
I was on an evening out playing darts with some pals at Chipstead in Surrey. One of the players brought along a friend and introduced him as Chas .During conversation I asked him where he lived, he explained that he had just returned from a short break staying with his uncle in Norwich. I said that I had never been to that area. He said that his uncle was a partner in a firm of quantity surveyors, I said that I also was a quantity surveyor. He said that his uncle had only recently opened the branch in Norwich, I said that I only knew of one person who lived in the Norwich area and said his name is Fred Chambers. Chas said ' that's my uncle !!'
