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 about 1978, I travelled to Antiparos, a tiny Greek island, untroubled, at that time, by many tourists. I was there for a few days, then travelled on to other islands.
I was walking down Antiparos’s main street one day and bumped into a good friend from Bristol, where we both live. He had gone to live on an Israeli Kibbutz many months before, and, as far as I knew, he was still there. He had left, however, a week or so before, and was making his way slowly home.
Both of us were surprised and delighted to meet up.......... we celebrated with Retsina and Ouzo.....
