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 flatmate in my early twenties moved to London from Ireland after a fairly messy break-up with a boyfriend of a few years. One Saturday before Christmas she was Christmas shopping in Oxford Street. It was, as is usual, heaving. When she was finished shopping, she went to get the tube home from Oxford Circus, central line. She stood on the very busy and crowded platform, and had to let a couple of trains go by before she could get to the platform edge. When the next train pulled in, the doors opened and there stood her ex-boyfriend.
