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 moved into a house in April 1989 and had the walls repainted by a decorator who was recommended to me called Martin Reynard. About twenty years later I moved again to another house in the same city. I wanted to paint my bedroom the same shade as my previous bedroom but could not remember the name of the colour. I went one morning to Brewers to see if their charts could jog my memory and who should be there at that exact moment in time but my painter Martin Reynard. Not only that but he even remembered the make and shade of paint he had used!
