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.
In 1987 I was a seventeen year old who had not long past my driving test and was car mad, I was round a friends house in Putnoe in Bedford and we were looking through Autotrader magazine seeing which cars we could afford next, (I only had a Vauxhall Chevette at the time!) soon we started looking at the personalised No. plates and I said I would like the No. plate LJH 666 as my Initials are LJH and I wanted something people would notice! later on after a couple of cups of coffee I was on the drive home, when pulling out of Queens Drive I got behind an old Triumph 2000 - it was then I saw its No. Plate LJH 666L!!! I had never seen this car before as i would have remembered it and have never seen it since, it made me look up to the sky and say "I was only joking"
