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 live in Bexhill-on-Sea in Sussex. Back in the 80s I went to work as a nanny in New York. The previous girl had left me a few phone numbers of other nannies she had met so I called the first number. The girl who answered asked where I was from. I said Sussex. She said So & so (can't remember her name) came from Sussex. She asked where in Sussex - I said Bexhill. So & so came from Bexhill! When I met So & so, it turned out her parents had bought the flat I was actually born in.
