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 live in Leicestershire and went on holiday with a friend after cancer treatment to Llandudno. My hair was just growing back so I thought I won't wear a wig now as no one one here will know me At the hotel after our evening meal, I sat in the conservatory with my back to the conservatory door when a lady approached me and asked me if I had a sister called Susan? I was shocked. Yes, as a twin, I was use to people thinking I was my sister but in Wales and looking so very different, I couldn't believe it! I said I did and she said she use to work with Susan and knew she was a twin. I asked for her name so that I could pass her greetings to my sister on my return. When she told me her name I said I use to work with a man with that surname. She shouted to her husband to come over and low and behold he turned out to be the twin brother of the man I use to work with! I was the twin to someone she use to work with and he was the twin of someone I use work with! How amazing is that?
