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.
I went to boarding school in Winnipeg Canada in 1956/57 and became friends with one of my room-mates Gayle who married an RCMP. Over the years I lost touch with her but in 1986 went to my High School reunion in Winnipeg and hired a car. I was lost so parked in a shopping mall and went up to a jewellry counter to ask the sales assistant where a certain street was and it was Gayle.
