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.
Walking home from the pub despite the fact that i had not done so for more than 8 years-always preferred a taxi except for tonight - don't know why i decided to walk the couple of miles home through country lanes. On the way home was walking across the local by-pass bridge in the pitch dark when I stumbled across a man in the dark who was preparing to jump off the parapet. Young man circa 20-25 years old. He told me his life was over............ after we talked he did not jump but went home. was I meant to stop him???
