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.

My girlfriend and I went to what is now Slovenia on our first foreign holiday together in 1974. We compared passports. My passport gave my place of birth as London and was issued in Glasgow on her birthday. Hers gave her place of birth as Glasgow and was issued in London on my birthday. We married the following year.
