Free Rice

This is a great way to waste away the hours - though you will be helping in a small way to gather rice to send to hungry people in poverty stricken places, so whilst having fun, learning/quizzing yourself with vocabulary, you are donating too! Win, win, win!

Good fun for a good cause JarBax.

 

What I can't understand is how do I go up a level as I have already got 530 grains of rice donated but it won't move up a level :(

 

That's it for today,I have donated 1,000 grams and I found they got easier as I got going and the machine couldn't keep up with me

 

1,010 Same as you Kandy, but it started going down a level :confused:

 

Wayhey - glad it's not just me enjoying this! I have yet to be elevated above level 40, but in the last day or so, musthave donated a good 5000 grains. I'm not about to go into the kitchen and start counting - but does anyone know roughly how much this is in volume? Have I donated enough for a decent meal yet?

 

It goes down when you get words wrong. It is totally frustrating but at least they don't steal rice back off you for wrong answers. Some of the words get very difficult when you reach level 73*

 

* I should imagine. :D

 

Shiney. In the FAQs it says that there are 50 levels. Good luck with 51. :D

 

Thanks for your replys :D My problem was I got so absorbed in the count bit going up and down that I wasn't concentrating on the words,well that's my excuse and I am sticking to it :D

Dee we will prove to them that we can go higher even though we are blonde,though silly me never saw the rice until I stretched the window and then I saw the pile.I have put it into favourites so I can play it at leisure. :D

 

My Dad knew a man in China who could live on 1 grain of rice a day. He never did divulge the secret.

Just perfected it when he died.
