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.

As a student at Imperial College in 1958 I was assigned lodgings in Putney. On returning to London some four years after graduation I took lodgings in a house in Hampstead and formed a friendship with the girl whose parents lived next door. Twenty plus years later, when the young lady had become my partner, we discovered that, as a trainee teacher in Roehampton, she had lodged in the same house in Putney two years before I took up residence there.
