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.

My mother moved to Rugby, we had always lived in Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire or London for a couple of generations. She was talking to a couple of ladies that were now her neighbours. They were discussing where they had previously lived. They described a flat on the King's Road in London that they had lived in in the 70's with a man that lived above them with various distinguishing features including two young children. This turned out to be my father (and at the time my mother's ex-husband), the children were my brother and me.
