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'm not sure where to start so ill start with the Daniels, when I was 16 every boy I met, dated or went out with was called daniel, after 7 Daniels I met as follows:- 3 Ben's 2 Tony's 2 Jamie's 3 Ian's 4 David's I had two best friends called carly And currently at the moment I'm meeting Paul's and so far I have met 5 pauls. Also most men in my family have John as their middle name, including my son. My son's father has John for his middle name and his father is also called John and has a son called paul. My brothers father is also called John. There are also traits in each group of names they all shared for example, all the Daniels treated me badly in one way or another, all the Paul's had been married or were married and none of them told me. My name is Racheal and I know 5 other racheals, all of us have the same sort of interests and look simular, All the Paul's had jobs in authority like in the army or police. I had 3 friends named mel, they all betrayed me. I went to school with 3 people with my date of birth, my sisters friend also has the same birthday, then my friend gave birth on my birthday. I usually always meet the names consecutively and once I say right no more Dan's for instance I will then start meeting David's and so on.
