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.

Went to dinner with my husband and some friends in Calif. While we were waiting for our food, I was telling my friends about an article I read about if you are in a room of 25 people or so you will find someone or some connection to you. As I told the story a person sitting at a table next to us asked me if I was from Pa. He then asked if I was from Secane Pa. I said yes (surprised) He lived around the corner from where I lived. I had been out of Pa for 30 years.
