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.
Yesterday morning I read about the funeral of Anthony Chuzzelwit in "Martin Chuzzelwit" by Charles Dickens over breakfast and in the afternoon I was going into Edinburgh by bus and saw a funeral procession with the black funeral carriage pulled by two black horses with plumes,the coffin behind the glass covered in flowers, and the undertakers walking behind with top hats, just like it was described in the book (except there are 4 horses in the book) I'd never ever seen this sort of funeral procession before.
