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 was randomly seated at a restaurant bar. There was an empty seat to my right, then a young couple, female next to the empty chair, and her male friend. About 10 minutes later, a couple came to the empty chair, the woman sat beside me. I was waiting for my meal, so we talked a bit. Turns out she was a nurse, who worked in the same town I did. Then, my meal came, so she started talking with the young woman on her right. Turns out, she was an R.N. They exchanged names. The woman next to me was Lora, the young woman was Laura. My name is Lori, and I'm an R.N. Felt sort of creepy.
