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.

Growing up, my Mother's parents' had the same phone number for many, many years, before I was ever born. It was 964-4376. When I turned age 9, my Fathers' parents moved into a new house, and they called to tell us their new phone number was 964-4367. Just amazing!
