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.
In 1969 we sold our house in Hampshire and later that year went to live temporarily in the USA, where I was to work on an international project. Soon after we arrived we were guests at a dinner party hosted by another ex-pat couple from London, whom we had never met. Among the other guests were the hostess's brother and sister-in-law, on holiday from England. During dinner they began talking about the new home to which they had recently moved, and it soon became apparent that this was the house we had sold earlier in the year.
