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 referencing google maps the drop down window asks "would you like to use your current location" Don't allow. Allow. We pressed don't allow and therefore random global location appeared on the screen. Amazingly, the location showed a street in California which had been our home address 1967! What are the odds of this happening?
