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.

My dad is a member of a golf club and in order to purchase discounted drinks from the bar each member is given a card which is swiped at each transaction. One day I was looking at this card and noticed the unique 4 digit code on the front was the same as his PIN number for his bank account (everyone in the family knows it as it is also the house alarm code). Bit of a coincidence, eh?
