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.

While on a guided tour of Vietnam/Cambodia Nov 2011 with 40 complete strangers, talking to one of the group about where about in the UK we lived and used to live, I mentioned St Margarets Twickenham ,having lived there in the early 70's then thought no more about it. The next day a lady with our tour asked if it was me who had lived there and which street, I told her and she she too had lived in that street and then what number. You've guessed same house. Turns out she had bought the house from me back in 1976! What are the chances of that!
