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.
Some time ago I was working in Cambridge and needed to make a call from a public phone box (pre mobile phone days). As it had been some time since I had used the BT credit card I had forgotten the PIN code for it. I decided to call the help phone number to see if they could provide it for me. The phone was answered by a young man whos voice I thought I recognised. He ask me my name and when I told him he repied with "Hello Dad". I appears that unknown to me he had taken a part time job at the BT call centre in Bristol where he was attending university.
