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.
We were on holiday in Barbados and whilst in a taxi got into conversation with the driver. After the usual "where are you from?" opener, he got more and more specific ("where are you from? - London - Where in London? - East London - Where in East London? etc.) It turned out that until a few months previously he'd worked as a London bus driver on a route we used all the time!
