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.
16th June 2018, flew to Christchurch, NZ to look for houses as we were moving down from Whangarei NZ in a month. During the day, we went to bigsave furniture to order a bed for when we moved down. Turned out that the sales rep we felt with was also from Whangarei and had just finished working at the bigsave up there. Same day went to order a fridge at Noel Leemings and found that the sales rep there had grown up in Whangarei. 2nd of October, after living in Christchurch for 3 months, took the car to the auto electrician to find that the manager there was also from whangarei and had even lived in the same street as me (Tapper Cres, Tikipunga) but a decade before.
