Free Rice

i-miss-roses · 11-15-2007, 02:46 AM

I'm completely stealing this from a post Aloi made on EvThreads (sorry!), but:

http://www.freerice.com/index.php

It's a vocabulary test. You get a word right, they donate 10 grains of rice to the UN. This site takes advantage of both my addictive personality and my ridiculously large vocabulary. I donated 11,000 grains then forced myself to stop for the sake of my eyesight.

So yeah, enjoy!

It's amazing how many English words have the same root or are really close to Spanish ones.

You have now donated
2140 grains of rice.

Cool if they do really donate them

Aloi · 11-17-2007, 11:10 AM

oh yay my post was stolen

anyways yeah
I ♥ this site

it's fun (because I'm a nerd) and it's nice to knowy you're helping somebody out.
I can't seem to get past level 31 on the vocabulary, though. ftl. haha

EDIT: I just got to level 35, yay haha

I was sure I'd suck at this, but instead I got bored after donating 3230.
Nice thing, if it actually works.

~river~ · 11-17-2007, 10:28 PM

this is most enjoyable

I really like this, but I have allergies so my eyes are really itchy. I stopped at 500 grains of rice. I have a hard time believing this actually works though.

Deceiver-Of-Fools · 11-23-2007, 07:03 PM

OK if I had less work to do I'd donate more, 870 is good for ten minutes work. Level 49... not great. I hope this thing actually works, there are links to other poverty webbies so maybe it's legit.

I got to 500.
that's really cool if they do donate.

Phantomfromhell5 · 04-06-2008, 09:21 PM

You have donated 20000 grains of rice.
Wow! We're speechless!

I might do some more later
