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.
My uncle grew up in a small village in Somerset. He heard a Somerset accent of a man 40ish years later in a pub in Queensland and went over to say hello. He named the village and the man said he used to take a Flight Wing Commander and his name, from the train station to the village when he was a taxi driver 35 ish years before. He remembered lots of children running out to greet them. My uncle was one of them!
