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.

In 1987 I worked with a colleague in Saudi Arabia. When we came back to UK we forgot all about them. After some 17 years, my wife and I were wondering whatever happened to them. Few days later I received an e mail from him wondering whether I was the same guy who worked with him in saudia, as he had googled my name and found few matches! I wrote back to him saying ,both of us thinking about each other at the same time, was telepathy! Shiv B
