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.
Dear Professor David Spiegelhalter,
in 2000 I made a tour in Peru and one night in a small disco/pub of a remote Andes village I saw a lady whose face was not new to me. I approached her asking if by hazard she had studies at my same Sicilian university but she replied this was not the case, Further investigations made me discovered she (a total foreigner to me) had been in holiday in the same Sicilian sea resort as me in the previous summer.
Two foreigners had chosen the same two remote holiday destinations for two consecutive years.
