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 had a step sister who lived in the next town to me (10 miles away), but our parents divorced when I was 14 and she was 12 (1988) and we didn't see each other again until we got in touch through Facebook 21 years later. Later that year she went on a date with someone she met on an internet dating site. Back at his house she saw a photo of his 7th birthday party - in a frame in his lounge - and I am in the photo. He was in my year at school, although had moved out of the village that I grew up in. I have a similar photo taken from around the same time.
