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 adopted as a baby but traced my family to discover that unknowingly as an adult I moved near them, they lived one side of the park and I lived the other side, I also found that I had twin brothers who were also adopted and discovered that I had moved to an area where they were taken to when they were adopted and they in turn then moved with their adopted parents to west country and lived within two streets of our natural family. The coincidence was that we had unknowingly lived quite close to one another the areas covered were London, Cambridgeshire and Dorset Mrs.Marie B
