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 went with a friend to an evening performance at the theatre in Aylesbury on 22nd January 2012. It was dark and gloomy when we parked our car in the busy car park and strolled down the hill to the theatre to meet our other friend in the foyer. After the performance at 10.15pm we walked together to the car park. "Where are you parked Mo" I said. "Over there" came the reply - immediately next to each other, both being totally unaware of the types and registration numbers of each others' cars. The car park was full with at least 300 cars parked in the large open space.
