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.

Years ago my wife & I started noticing multiple coincidences in our lives. Both of us come from families with five children: three boys and two girls. We both have an older sister born in 1951 with two children named Eric & Jill. Both of our mothers --- born weeks apart --- had one brother and four sisters. We are both into numerology and both our birthdays add up to 11= 2; both our social security numbers add up to 38=11=2. Even weirder, the first three digits of her SSN are 038.
