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.

When on holiday in West Australia, we went to a place called Kalbarrie where we went into a gift shop. There was only one other couple and the store keeper in the shop, on speaking to shop keeper he said "I know you come from UK, where about" so we told him and he said before he emigrated he lived 2 miles away from us, what a coincidence, we thought, until the other couple who live in Port Headland, WA said we used to live in the next road from ours. So that was 5 people in a little seaside town, miles from anywhere that all lived within 2 miles of each other.
