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 live in Turkey. A few years ago I met a lady who was at the same school as me, a year behind me. This school took in boarders of the local boarding school. I lived in the place I went to school. This lady lived in The Hague (I'm Dutch). We still both live in Turkey to date. Not only did she go to the same school in Zeist and we had never "met", but my grandfather was an artist and we had many artist acquaintances in common; memories from when we were very young. This was because her grandfather owned a museum. We could not believe that we never knew each other although we moved in the same circles, but also that we had no school recollections.
