Crossing paths

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.

We went on a cruise around the Canaries and Madeira, and wandered around Funchal in the warm winter sunshine. We turned a corner, and almost fell over the neighbours of one of our best friends, who live just two miles from us. They were doing a cruise of Madeira and the Canaries, anti-clockwise, and we were doing the same, clockwise,totally unbeknown to each other.
