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.

Going to high school here in Los Angeles I had a flat tire and changing it made me late for school. Running through the green in the center of the school I heard my name called...it was my girlfriend in one of the trees on the green. She was supposed to be in Massachusettes at Wellesley College !! She had dropped out without telling anyone and just gotten back to L.A. an hour before and came to the school in hopes of seeing me during the lunch hour. Had I not had the flat tire we would never had met so strangely that morning.
