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 was borne and educated in County Durham until entering Medical School in Birmingham in 1953. I have lived in B'ham ever since but have a holiday home in Devon and joined Thurlestone Golf Club there some 6 years ago. After playing there 2 years ago and relaxing in the bar, I heard a familiar accent and introduced myself to the ''owner'' of it. Co. Durham? Yes Where? Oh, you wouldn't know it. Where? Dipton Not only did I know Dipton but I lived within 2 miles of him (John B). We both went to the same Grammar School in West Stanley (though not at the same time), both went on to Birmingham University and both married nurses from the same Birmingham hospital. And we are now both members of the same Golf Club and own properties within 5 miles of each other. Geoff H.
