Not a freebie for you I'm afraid, but this time a unique idea for donating rice to charity. The best part? You learn a little from doing it.

Answer the questions right and donate 10 grains of rice each time you do so. And damn, it gets hard.

I donated 1170 grains of rice and got to Vocab Level 36. Have fun!

[chairdriver]

I've donated 660 grains of rice!

[Tellyn]

That's actually a really good site, it's good that it'll make a difference if enough people do it too.

I'm on vocabulary level 38 and I'm on 1100 grains of rice.

[triforce_keeper]

2000 grains of rice =]

And they weren't actually that hard!

[Dyson]

Let's see, 5000 grains of rice donated by us so far is how many packs? Not a clue, but it's a great initiative, and it helps to know that I've fed some people in Africa...or something :P

[Strider]

I wish they'd do this kind of thing at my local take-away. They wouldn't lose out on much either, everyones thick round here.

[Bren]

their must be like 3000 grains of rice in a pack? Their a bit stingy with it aint they

*i donated 770 so far :)*

[Daft]

270 so far but I might as well do it while I'm working! Got to vocab level 40...Some pretty random words there!!

[Letty]

I donated 1550 grains :)

[Dante]

I have donated 1380 grains of rice

[Slaggis]

Donated 2290 grains of rice.

[The fish]

I donated 1010, and a friend I sent a link to did 500.

We'll probably both go back to it, we both found it addictive. :heh:

[Letty]

I just did another 700 or so.
This site is brilliant!

[Eenuh]

More than 6000. I barely know any of the words though. And for some words I've never even heard of the explanations they give... >.>;

[Cube]

I got to 200 odd then got bored.

[DCK]

Got to 460, this is hard...

[Daft]

Just got past 2000....This is much more fun than homework.

[Coolness Bears]

I have Donated 410 so far. :D

[Roostophe]

Got to 2300 then stopped.

[martinist]

600 grains

[Davey_T]

Great site (Y)

[Solo]

Can't 'they' just give them rice anyway?

[Oxigen_Waste]

I purposely got them all wrong just so I don't feed anyone. (Ok, maybe I did get to 900, but shush, I'm supposed to be inhuman).

If FreeRice has the rice to give, why not give it all away right now?

FreeRice is not sitting on a pile of rice―you are earning it 10 grains at a time. Here is how it works. When you play the game, advertisements appear on the bottom of your screen. The money generated by these advertisements is then used to buy the rice. So by playing, you generate the money that pays for the rice donated to hungry people.


And.......


FreeRice has two goals:
Provide English vocabulary to everyone for free.
Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.

This is made possible by the sponsors who advertise on this site.

At least you'll have something better then childish insults about racial minorities and your penis to fall back on when you do. :heh:

[thunderer]

I got to about 300 ish and got bored, it's a great site though, brilliant idea.

[MadDog]

I got bored aswell lol on about 100 :D

[triforcemario]

640 grains... I'm so fecking tired, I cba to do anymore.

[Supergrunch]

Went up to 10000 to see what it'd say when the counter ran out. "You have collected 10000 grains of rice. Wow! Now THAT is impressive!" Then the counter starts again, only with 10000 added to the number at the bottom.

Anyway, cool game thingy, and a nice idea. I couldn't get higher than vocab level 42.

[Dyson]

Haha nice. We must have filled several people up by now :D

[MoogleViper]

1220 to add from me and 1000+ from my girlfriend.

[Marshmellow]

This is an awesome idea! I've now donated around 2500.
