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.

In the summer of 2013 I traveled with my family to Spain and Israel. We spent 5 days in Spain and took a wonderful 1/2 day Bike Tour of Barcelona. The tour was great! We then traveled to Israel and toured around the country for two weeks. We spent our last 5 days in Jerusalem. We thought we might take a free tour of the old city of Jerusalem in the afternoon, but at the last minute we decided to take the tour at 10 a.m. We met up with a group of strangers and after about 5 minutes, my ten year old son said,"Mom, I think that guy over there was on our 1/2 day bike tour trip in Barcelona!" I said, "NO WAY!" So we both walked over and asked him if he had taken the Fat Tire 1/2 day bike tour in Barcelona two weeks ago. He said yes, and recognized us as well. (a family of 4) There were less than 1ish people on each of these tours. We had not chatted with him while we were on the 1/2 day bike tour in Barcelona at all.
