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 am from Jersey (Channel Islands) and my boyfriend from Cambridge. We met eachother at Lincoln University and started up a relationship. That summer he came to visit me in Jersey for the first time. Before he came he was give an childhood black and white photo from his grandpa who has a long lost brother in Jersey. His Grandpa asked that we go to an address to deliver the photo and explain the story and the desire for them to get back in touch. Anyway, when we turned up at the address in Jersey to deliver the photo I recognised the house as a very good family friend's. It turns out my boyfriend's grandfather is the long lost brother of a very close family friend I have known since birth. Weird!
