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 heard your piece on the Today programme. I am Alan George S, my wife and I went on a riverboat cruise (about 120 passengers) in 2010 and noted that there was another Mr and Mrs S on the passenger list. The other Mr S was also Alan George S, we were born within a month of each other in 1940. This caused some confusion when checking in for our flight. Regards Alan S
