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.
In 1998 I worked at Harvey Nichols in Leeds. That year my wife and I enjoyed a fabulous holiday in the states including time in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Whilst in L.A. we stayed in Hollywood. One morning whilst walking from the hotel to Wilshire Boulevard we happened to spot the British actor John Hurt (Elephant Man), driving a rather nifty little red sports car. It turned out he was the only "star" we spotted during our stay.
Two weeks later back and work and I was on the ground floor of Harvey Nichols. Imagine my surprise when I looked out of the front doors to see none other than John Hurt standing on Briggate looking up at the HN facade. He then came into the store and spent some time in the bar upstairs.
Something of a coincidence I believe.............................
