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 have always had an interest in coincidences and have noticed them over much of my life - one day I was sitting in a downstairs conference room at work talking to some colleagues about this interest and explaining that in there is a whole galaxy (as in large and impressive collection) of examples when a lorry stopped outside the window bearing the name 'Galaxy Removals and Storage' - this really made an impression!
