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, plus two very close friends, plus two mothers of close friends of my son all share the same birthday - 18th September. Three other close friends share the same birthday - 13th May, the day before mine! </p> <p>My daughter was on a Gap year in France last year. During the summer holidays, she was one of the youth workers who took a group of young people to a theme park close to where she was based, near Toulouse. Whilst sitting watching them on a ride she heard 'there's Aoife' - it was the family of one of her best friends from school, the friend herself had just left her family to return home earlier the same day.
