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 belonged to a youth club in the early 50's and was friendly with one of the lads. Time passed and I met and married another. 30 years later I met up with a couple from the youth club, who had married each other. We were discussing old times and I asked if they knew what had happened to Colin. They said the last that they had heard was that he was living in Vancouver. I have a daughter who lives in Vancouver and on my next visit I looked in her phone book and lo and behold there was Colin's phone number. I rang the number. He remembered me. We arranged to meet and we discovered that he only lived a couple of Avenues away from my daughter. Mrs Betty W.
