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.

in the days when the post came at 7.30 in the morning, my boyfriend and i had just got up, and i had put the kettle on. I asked him if he wanted tea or coffee, and as a joke,I said i would have a rum and coke. The doorbell rang and the postman handed me a parcel.Inside was a small can of ready mixed rum and coke.It was an advertising gimmick.What is even stranger is that I have never touched alcohol in my life, and really was only joking!
