Free Rice (addicting!!!)

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Ok, I got nosey! I got out my rice and counted out 100 grains. It came to one even teaspoon. So, I figure that it takes 1200 to make a fourth cup of rice. Just in case anyone else was wondering too.

That was uncooked minute rice though.

I did another 3200 yesterday evening. I'm hoping it helps my fuzzy memory to wake up.

As the words became harder, I needed to cheat and opened a tab with an online dictionary. That way, I could simply copy and paste the word in when I was really stumped. I don't mind cheating in a good cause.

That's not cheating, that's what we all need to do when we come up on a word we don't know, whether it is to earn rice or just figure out what it means.

Donated 3000 grains of rice, got my vocabulary level up to 45!

That's great Karen. I got up to level 43 with 600 grains. I like word games
like this but, can you imagine someone, somewhere ,counting out each grain
of rice?

Fantastic!! This is so much fun...I'm learning some new words...

[catnapper]

ooo... I feel so smart. I'm at level 42 without any problems! A lot of the words are ones I already know and knew the answer before I even looked at the choices I love vocabulary

They have it set now where it can keep track of how much you donate. I'm over 10,000 now. When I hit the 10,000 mark, it started donating 20 grains per correct word.

As of November 28th, they are donating 20 grains instead of 10.

This is so much fun.

Yes, I noticed that, and I got up to level 50 for my vocabulary today, too! Only had to look up a couple words.

And here I thought it was because I was special!!!

I'm glad they did that. It goes faster that way!!!

My highest vocabluary has been 44. I don't look up the words. I just guess if I don't know them.

[Karen]

Donated 6000 grains last night in one session without much trying, I kept thinking - "I'll just get it to an even amount, and then quit," but the next word would pop up and I'd think "Oooh, I know that one ..."

Truly addictive.

Just bumping this up for those who haven't seen it and to remind the rest of us to play.

People are hungry all year long and this is a fun, painless way to help out.

Moff, Thanks for the bump. I had forgotten about this site. I enjoy it & if
it helps people, that's great too.

How does it determine your "vocabulary level"? I got to 30 then it dropped down to 23 pretty fast and no matter how many I would get right, it wouldn't increase. =/ Frustrating since I know I have a pretty broad vocabulary, but I donated around 980 grains Will have to do more later when I have more free time.

Jessika, every 3 questions that you get right in a row, you advance a level. But you decrease a level as soon as you get one wrong. Hope that helps!
