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've been reading the posts for a few days, trying to think of any coincidence that had happened to me. Yesterday moring whilst at the chemist, i sat down next to woman. When the chemist shouted out a name, the woman said "was that Green?". It wasn't, and being friendly i said, "Oh, your Green too." On further conversation i mentioned my first name, turns out her daughter-in-law has the same name as me (Amanda Green). I would have asked further, but my name was called.
