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.

On 20th November 2011 I was having a meal with my grandson (he's 27). He asked me what the date was. I said 20.11. Then I said it's actually 20.11 2011 and if it were 11 minutes past 8 it would be 20.11 20.11 2011. We both looked at the time on his phone and yes - it was 20.11.
