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 my first day at work in a library in London I was introduced to everyone who worked within the organisation. However, in the reception area I noticed someone who looked familiar. On asking certain questions to her, I realised she had the same first name, attended the same school at the same time as myself as well as sharing the same religion! When we were at school in the late 1970s/80s, I noticed that she was on her own in the playground, the same predicament as myself. In time we became quite friendly.
