New Zealand to Canada

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.

About 8 years ago we took a holiday with Journey’s of Distinction in New Zealand. The party was from all over Britain. We flew out to Singapore and then spent 3 weeks on a coach tour of both North and South NZ. There were some couples we got on with quite well and in particular a couple from the London area. We then came home never expecting to see any of the tour again. A few years later my wife and I took a holiday in Canada, starting in Toronto then going across Canada to the Inside Passage. My wife was window shopping in Toronto, as she does, and I started to take pictures of the mall. I turned round with my camera to find the screen filled with the couple from London!
