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.
A friend who I met when we were in our thirties was born in the same month and year as me although two days days apart. We both had sons born the same month and year two days apart. We both were born to Irish mothers and more spookily, when we were children we'd both seen ghosts and had actually terrified ourselves by reading the same book, 'The Most Haunted House in England, Borley Manor', over and over again.
My sons both had their children on the same day, 1st July, but two years apart.
Twice in the last two years on my way home from work I've had the feeling I was going to win the premium bonds and both times I had (only £50 though!)
