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 2018 I stayed in a large hotel - part of a well known chain - in San Francisco before flying back to the UK and checking into another large hotel - part of a different chain - in the London Docklands area. To my surprise I had the same room number, somewhere in the 400's I think. This has never happened to me before.
