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.
Whilst fund raising for the local scout group, I separated some books from bags of jumble. I skimmed through them and discovered a book with a sticker inside which indicated that it had been awarded as a prize to my wife by her Secondary School (under her maiden name)
She confirmed that it was her book, but she had not seen it for about 25 years and last remembered it when she lived near Royston in Herts. She was living in Kent when I met her, and she did not bring it with her when we married. As we were living in Essex near Romford and no other members of her family or friends live within 50 miles of us, it seems bizarre that this book found its way to our home.
I had been fund raising for about 10 years so had handled maybe 1000 books in this time.
