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 had a new friendship, about a year or two old, and she and I were driving in the car and I said, "My friend's brother ran for mayor of Los Angeles." She looked surprised. Then she said, "MY friend's brother ran for mayor of Los Angeles too!" we then realized that we had the same friend, whose brother ran for the mayor of Los Angeles several years ago.
