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.
Six months ago, a man and his daughters came into church and sat next to me. Our congregation is a large crowd, like 2000 people or so. I recall thinking he was handsome. Now months later, I joined a dating site and began chatting with another member and asked where he goes to church. We attend the same church, same service (our church has 3 per Sunday). I took another look at his pics and suddenly realize it's the same man I'd sat next to that day.
