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 1990 I moved from the Bay Area to Minden NV for work. I needed a new bank and new phone, all the basics. Back then the phone company would give you a personal PIN so you could make long distance calls and charge them to your home phone number. It was a four digit number that they randomly generated. I also got a new ATM card with a randomly generated four digit number from my new bank. They were the same number! allen pierson
