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.
I asked my girlfriend to get some fancy pasta for me to use to enter a cooking contest party of her co-workers. She got farfalle (bowtie macaroni). I had a temporary job making deliveries, and within a few weeks of getting the macaroni, I made a delivery to a bar/restaurant. In the parking lot I noticed a box that had broken open, and the contents were sealed in a plastic bag that was sticking out of the box. Inside the bag was bowtie macaroni.
