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 1976, in Brownstown. Country Kildare, Ireland. My grandfather JJ Coy sold his house. When the buyer came to purchase. He signed his name on the purchase documents. It was also JJ Coy. It transpired that he was a distant relative. The house in question was quite an ordinary little bungalow ie not an old family homestead. Also we believed that there were no other male Coys in the area with the exception of my uncle Edward ( Eamonn)
