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.

When meeting my present wife we soon discovered thet we were divorced within a very short time of one another. We also both have mothers named Beryl, our fathers died within 6 months of each other. We both have brothers named Mike who's wifes names are Cheryl. A further link was that my father was Ukranian, and my sister-in-law from Canada had a Ukranian father. More than one coincidence or not???
