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.

Two years ago close friends of mine bought an old house near Petersfield, found for him by an estate agent. It was to be knocked down and a new one erected in it's place. While clearing several out buildings they came across a pile of old leather boxes and cases covered in leaves. One of the larger heavy cases was monogramed with the name Russell, is was about 100 years old. The name of my friend is also Russell, spookey or what? They have since had the cases professionally renovated and are on display in the new house as a great talking point. Regards Mike H
