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 Chislehurst. Once I visited a friend in Milton Keynes. Another friend of his was there, from Southampton. When he heard I lived in Chislehurst he said he knew somebody there. After further conversation, it transpired that the person he knew was my next-door neighbour! This was about 35 years ago.
