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.
This is really unbelievable, but true.My boyfriend and I were in a part of town we did not know, visiting my cousin.On the way back we stopped at a newsagent to buy something, and the man behind the counter asked my name, he was an old schoolfriend i had not seen for over 20 years.What was amazing was that he then handed me a photo of myself aged five, which was tucked behind his till.Apparently he had been sorting out his stock room that week and found a box of old school photos, and had put that one aside to ask his brother what the name of the girl in the photo was as he could not remember!I did not know the photo had even been taken,it showed me carrying the class register in a corridor at school, presumably taking it to or from class!
