Fly in the Ointment

As of the 23rd May 2022 this website is archived and will receive no further updates.

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.

I was just doing some work on the mp3s I made of my on music - one of which is based on the Sci Fi classic 'The Fly' -the track is called 'Fly in the Ointment'. Later this evening I went back to the online version of the newspaper,and started reading it from the back to the front,as I had already read the major part of it this morning. In the sports section,which I usually omit,when reading the paper from the beginning,was an article about Italian striker Andrea Belotti which referred to him being stung. The article was entitled 'Fly in the ointment for puffed up Andrea'!!!
