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 2007 we booked a family holiday to new york for 4 nights in november. a neighbour of ours who resides less than 70 yards away also booked to go but one day after we flew out . we joked about bumping into one another in the big apple but after 2days the thought of seeing someone we knew had completely been blown away by the sights etc. on the 3rd day we caught a bus to a place called ' woodbury common' .its about a one hour drive out of new york. woodbury common is a massive retail outlet area the size of a small town. its shop after shop of end of line goods etc [ it compares to the complex at bicester in the uk], there are buses to and from there every hour from new york all day long . the six of us split up and went our own way for the day , The day passed by and was pretty uneventful but i remember there was an amazing sunset. as i stood and wathed the setting sun pretty much on my own and in an isolated area i heard a voice say is that you stan !!! it was the neighbour. so no not only had we tavelled 2,700 miles across the atlantic,we also had travelled 40 odd miles out of new york, and there we were standinG on the same slab!!!
