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.

8.88 years after my brother was born, I was born. The sunrise to moonrise was 888 minutes. The distance from my crib to the South Pole is 387 Nautical miles, which is the number of verses the word God is found in the bible. The distance from my crib to the solar eclipse, which occurred after my birth was 8888.8 miles. At the age of 8880 days, the sunrise to sunset in Port Alberni was 888 minutes. On this date and at this location, my daughter was born. 888 is the word Jesus in Greek Gematria. YOU DO THE MATH. THE PROBABILITY IS ABSURD.
