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 was living on the South coast of England at the age of 14. That summer holiday, I spent a couple of weeks in a pub about 40 miles away as my parents were training to go into the tade. The pub was on a busy roundabout. One morning I went to the window and looked down. As I did, a coach went by and one of the passengers looked up and we made eye contact. He almost jumped out of his seat; he was a school mate who had no idea I was away for the summer.
