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.

while on a driving holiday in new zealand one day we went to a really quiet remote spot by a river. there where two ladies there parked up enjoying the sun. in conversation with them, they mentioned that their husbands had gone fishing. i joked that they were " fishing widows" and that i was a " railway widow " as my husband is a train buff. one of the ladies, who it turned out was on holiday with her sister, asked were we came from and when i said the Wirral she asked if i knew a chap called Dave who volunteered on a welsh railway. it turned out that he was a mutual friend of ours and also, she belonged to the same walking group as him and his wife.
