~*FREE RICE*~help feed the hungry

[NorwayUnn]

You can play a word game and feed the hungry. For each correct word, 10 grains of rice are donated through the UN to help end world hunger.

If you try this game, please come back and post here

your vocab level (optional) and how many grains of rice you have donated,

and I will give you 10 blessings per 100 grains of rice that you have donated. It is fun and helps to feed the hungry.

Here is the weblink to it http://www.freerice.com/

I donated 1200 grains of rice. I don't know if the game stops on its own but I had to stop it so I could go back to work.

I can't wait to try this Unn -- how did you hear about it?

I saw it in another thread on the forums and got the idea to post it here.

Thanks to Auncy for playing. I have sent her the blessings promised.

I donated 2260 grains of rice. Some of those words gave me a run for my money! LOL

 

[NUgameFund]

Thanks for playing, vg. I sent you 226 blessings.

1300 grains so far. I notice that it tries to give you words at your vocabulary "level". That is, the site will keep giving you harder and more obscure words until you get one wrong. It then "backs up" and tries to find words you do know.

 

[NorwayUnn]

Yes, it does, RoughEdges. Thanks for playing. I have sent you 130 blessings.

1020 grains of rice, vocab level 40. Some of those words were HARD!!!

 

[heffalump_hunter]

Whoops.

 

[NorwayUnn]

heffalump I sent you 300 blessings, how nice you got to 3,000!

Avatar, I sent you 102 blessings. Yes, they are challenging, these words.

 

[Bridgit]

Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I got to 4000! It was fun!

 

[NorwayUnn]

Excellent, Bridgit! I just sent you 400 blessings.

I did some figuring, and it would take approximately 50,000 grains of rice to make a kilogram which is 2.2 pounds. That's at 20 milligrams for a grain of rice. 545 grams would make a pound.

So 22700 grains for a pound, and this thread has generated 12780 grains, or about half a pound of rice. that's dried of course, once cooked in water that's food for a couple of kids. Not bad I say.

 

[NorwayUnn]

It is nice if we can feed a couple of kids, guys.
I do a 1,000 grains a time and go back and do more. It is a game I like to go back to. It is fun and useful. It was too good to keep it to myself, lol.
Let us keep it going, if we can.

Excellent, Bridgit! I just sent you 300 blessings.
