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.

My husband and I were joking around after a game of cards and for some reason he shuffled the deck and asked me to try to guess what card he'd flip. I correctly guessed three times in a row the exact card (value and suit.) The chances of that are something like 1/132,600.
