Bermuda and the Isle of Wight

As of the 23rd May 2022 this website is archived and will receive no further updates.

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 was waiting to board a BA flight from LHR to Madrid and fell into conversation with the wife of a couple rerouted because of the Iberia strike. We discovered that we had both lived in Bermuda in the 50s and 60s, been to the same Bermuda school and then also spent tine on the Isle of Wight. Her husband looked on amazed as we knew common people but not each other - probably because of a 5+ y age difference. We would not have met had the Iberia pilots not been on strike!
