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.

Back in the late '80's i had a triumph 2000 motor car, It was my pride and joy . I worked in a restaurant and after finishing one night walked to the car park to find it had been stolen! The next day, Reading the stars in the newspaper i was informed i would share a triumph with someone! Either the astrologist was VERY good or it was a big coincidence. A week later after a night out to celebrate my birthday looking out of the taxi window i spotted my car at the bottom of the road i lived in(it was taken from my workplace three miles away),It had more fuel in it than when it was taken and apart from a flat tyre was in the same condition as when it was taken!
