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.
On buying a house in another town and receiving the keys for the house , I suddenly realised that the house had a security alarm. I quickly texted the vendor to ask if they had left the house alarmed and if so what was the code to disable the alarm. They replied that the code was "1203" , I replied that the code is same as the date of my birthday. The vendor texted back "Mine too!"
