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.
Travelling from Cumbria back to Leicester My friend suggested we stop in Lancaster for coffee.On the way back to the car my friend saw a small dress shop and suggested going in.During a conversation with the owner ,it transpired that she and my friend had both lived in Nigeria at the same time and travelled on the same boat.Further conversation revealed that she had owed a public house in a village in SW Lancashire where my friend and I had once lived!
