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.

My maternal grandparents names were Mary (Roman Catholic) and Andrew (non-Catholic). I was given Mary as a middle name in 1957 (a very Catholic name). I've had 3 long term relationships over the course of my life with men who all have the middle name - Andrew. The age difference between the 3 men ranges across 11 years. All 3 were brought up with different religions - Catholic, Church of Scotland, Jewish, I was brought up Catholic where being named after a saint is important. And my one brother has two middle names, one of which is also Andrew.
