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.
In 1986, whilst visiting friends, they said that i should meet up with Joanne, a friend of theirs. They thought we would make a good couple. After several months and misted contact opportunities we eventually met up. Several months of flirting followed and eventually we got together. 2 years into dating it was Joanne's 21st birthday. Her mum gave her a 'photo history' of her first 21 years. Several years later we married. All was happy. When we decided to move house, we went through all our books and paper work. Looking at her 21st birthday folder, I noticed one photo that stood out although I did not know why. Upon closer inspection I could see a small figure in the background. It was a photo of Joanne's first day at primary school. Up in the background was one loan figure waving. No other kids in the picture. After scanning and enhancing the photo, I knew... yes.. that little boy up on the hill was me. I never knew Joanne until we met in 1986, yet I was looking out for her. We now have two gorgeous boys, a dog and one hell of a loving relationship. It will be our 10th anniversary next month. I think it is fate, but may be coincidence in the working of the universe.
