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.
I made a routine local telephone call and got a wrong number. I would normally apologise and put down the telephone but on this occasion the lady gave her name. The name was not common so I asked if by chance she had a son called William. She had and he was visiting from the north that weekend. William had been my best friend at school some 40 years before. We met up again that weekend!
