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 met my fiance on Facebook. Setting aside all the circumstances and coincidences that would be needed just for that, something that came to light last summer is absolutely extraordinary. We were invited to a wedding at the registry where my fiance had previously been married. Only after the ceremony did we notice that the name of the suite where the wedding was performed was called the 'Michael Allen Suite'. My name is Michael Allen. For jam on top of this, my fiance's previous wedding date at this venue had been November 2nd - My birth date. I myself have never been married but plan to do so next summer. Seems to me that to ignore coincidence and synchronicity is just plain silly.
