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 mum was on holiday in south whales, she was driving back and stopped at a small second hand book store in a village with her friend. they briefly browsed the books and then got into the car to return home. A few hours drive later, looking in her handbag she found she had accidentely stolen a book she'd picked up in the book shop, it was too far to go back and return it so she kept it. A few days later flicking through the book she saw a picture of herself as a teenage girl, one she didn't even know had been taken let alone know was in the book!
