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.

As an 11 year old I started at the grammar school in a class which was alphabetically selected for the first term. A boy called Geoff was in the same class but the family moved away to another part of the country after a few weeks. I never met any of his family. 7 years later I was babysitting for a couple who unknown to me arranged a blind date with a friend of theirs for me. This chap arrived and turned out to be the brother of the chap in my class who had returned to the area to work. We married two years later.
