Weird or what?

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 spent a lot of time building a small racing car based on an old Austin 7 in the early 60's, sold the vehicle and moved from my home in Wolverhampton to London. 18 months later decided to puchase a car via The Exchange and Mart magazine, arranged to view the car and turned up at the wrong address in Shropshire. The occupier thought I was a bit bonkers since he hadn't advertised a vehicle and hadn't arranged to see anyone! Eventually convinced it was a genuine mistake, on my departure, he mentioned in passing that he'd recently aquired an interesting car based on an old Austin 7!! Guess what, it was the car I had built...........................explain that!!
