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.
Our family dog, an English Springer Spaniel named 'Chico' had died sometime during the night before I was to move my parents to a new house. The morning of the move I discovered Chico dead. Dreading telling my parents I went to the house and waited for my father to finish a phone call. After he hung-up I told him the news. Looking surprised he told me that he had just received a wrong-number call from, you got it, Chico California.
