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.
Last night I was trying to recall the name of the rodent that had featured in the golfing film starring Bill Murray.
This had been precipitated by my other moving like the rodent did when dancing to the Kenny Loggin's opening theme.
Not being able to recall the film's name I had to Google to find 'Caddyshack' and determine that the rodent was in fact a Gopher.
Just as I found this out,Jeremy Paxman in University Challenge asked a question on tv about a weatherman called Phil doomed to repeat the same day over and over.
This of course was 'Groundhog Day' starring none other than the same Bill Murray with another form of rodent (beaver)!
