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.
Sitting restaurant in Sedona, AZ -- overheard conversation between people at next table and waiter about New York City bridges. I'm from NY so I joined in. After a while -- "Hey, where are you from?". Brooklyn. "Hey, me too -- where'd you go to high school?". Brooklyn Tech. "Hey, me too -- what year did you graduate?" 1964. "Hey, me too". So we were classmates -- but in a graduating class of 1200, hadn't known each other. Still, what are the odds -- 50+ years later and a continent away, there we are.
