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.

So it ends up the stall holder, at the same moment she was serving us, was also talking to a colleague of mine who is in Sierra Leone. I had never meet my colleague's wife or knew of her market stall.
