Just when I needed a new cable

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.

I keep a USB cable to charge my phone at work. The cable did not seem to be working anymore, however, and I thought to myself one day that I should get a new one. The next day I was walking to the bus stop when I found a cable on the sidewalk!
