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.

Music coincidence. On 311211 my wife and I were watching the approach to new years eve on television. We had music playing on our computer. There was over 7hrs of cds listed and playing at random. As big ben started to strike twelve we heard Auld Land Syne being sung. We both thought it was on the television at first but soon realised in was being played on our computer.
