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 was born on Feb 21st, the same birthday as my mum's brother, when he was 31. My sister's son was born on the same day, when my uncle was 62, and I was 31. Thus my nephew, his maternal uncle (me) and my maternal uncle all share the same birthday, separated by 31 years.
