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.

A group of colleagues and I were outside a west London pub during the summer and for no specific reason we began discussing which actor we felt was the best James Bond. One of the group suggested Timothy Dalton and within 5 minutes he walked into the pub past us... To say our jaws hit the floor was an understatement! By way of explanation it turned out that the pub used to be his regular when he was filming and whenever he revisits the area he tends to drop by. None of us knew that and none of us had seen him there previously.
