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.

Whilst sitting in my Cab waiting for a job, i listen to Classic Gold radio , im in Christchurch Dorset, On the Radio comes a Beetles song , "Penny Lane" i'm humming along to it and reveling in the Nostalgia of the remembered times, I then get a job , so i do a U turn and just as i'm facing the new direction, over christchurch train station bridge comes a Huge White articulated lorry , and on the side in Green letters 2foot high is the name Penny Lane, i was totally gobsmacked, i have since read that this phenomenom is called Syncronisity and found books on the subject amasing. kind regards Victor j.s.
