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 working in San Antonio, Texas for one day only in 1978,I decided to buy a new rucksack and went into town,walking along the street opposite the Alamo i went into the first shop I saw selling bags. i asked the lady serving about rucksacks,on hearing my English accent asked what I was doing in town. I replied that I was working with a group playing at the city stadium that night,she said her son is in the music industry as well,I asked her his name and she replied Alex Sedkin,I knew him and worked for the same record label in London a couple of years before,to add to this she had only moved to Texas 3 days before from Florida where Alex had grown up.
