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.

On 28th September2010 my wife and I went to Malta for a 2 week all inclusive holiday. We stayed at the Hotel Riu Seabank near Mellieha. The meals were in 2 sittings and on the first evening we were directed to a particular table which we shared with a younger couple for theduration of the holiday. As we got to know the couple similarities between myself and the other husband emerged :- 1 His name was David (as is Mine) 2 His birthday is on September 11th (as is mine) 3 He was born in 1953, I was born in 1935. Coincidental? Regards David Lloyd
