Free rice is tastier than paid-for rice.
2007 November 13
Free Rice seems to be a legit way to donate food to the world's hungry using advertising money and your brain power. You, the reader, solve vocabulary problems (a la Reader's Digest 'word power'), and every time you get one right, 10 grains of rice are donated to the UN World Food Program, via advertiser money. Keep getting them right, you keep donating. Plus, you get a handy little reminder of how bright you are on a 0-50 scale. Every three right moves you up a level, but screw up once and you drop a level. I tend to hover in the 40-43 zone.
ugh. you are sooooo inflating your score.
ugh. Am not. I hit 45 for the briefest of moments. Such fleeting bliss.
I'm stuck mostly at 35 with range of 32-37. I feel inferior compared to your very large... vocabulary.
45 - I quit after 940 grains of rice though.
I don't understand how this works? do they really donate rice?
