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 Christmas Day 2004 I received a book of puzzles with Tsunami in the title, and a jigsaw puzzle which, when compiled, showed a huge wave approaching a beach full of people. Boxing Day brought news of the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami. (Tsunamis have not featured in any gifts or belongings before or since.)
