How to make a million
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.
Having watched some atrocious ignorance on 'who wants to be a millionaire' I took to Facebook to remark that if this was the level of knowledge required,making a million should be a cinch.
One of my friends who is an architect remarked that property in London could lead to making a mint.
I happened to be watching 'beyond belief' as I replied that someone that morning had suggested ending up in a redesignated postcode could seriously affect property prices.
Just as I wrote my reply, the 3rd segment of the tv programme came on which was about people moving to a new property and was about real estate.
One of the characters mentioned how one could 'make a million with the right property deal' ; essentially the same subject I had been mentioning on Facebook!
