Same flat

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.

About 20 years ago I was living in Leeds and a friend of mine moved from Sheffield to London. He had no fixed place to stay other than with friends. He told me he would contact me with an address once he had found himself a more secure place to stay. Sure enough within a few weeks he wrote to me with his new address. Coincidentally I had lived in the very same flat some eight years previous and had actually helped to save it from ruin by rescuing it from dereliction and opening it up as a squat. There was no way he could have known any of that at the time.
