Two calls in one

As of the 23rd May 2022 this website is archived and will receive no further updates.

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.

In the late 70's I was living in a shared house in Oxford, there was a communal pay phone in the hall which also accepted incoming calls. One day the phone was ringing and I happened to answer it and two voices simultaneously asked to speak to me, one was a friend in London and the other was a friend in Bristol and they did not know each other!
