What do you think of the site Free Rice?

It's a site where you answer simple questions and in return you donate rice to poeple who can't even afford there own food. I think that it is a good site because it makes me feel good that I know that someone is going to get a free meal.

Feel free to post your highest donation and stuff.

I like it. It was actually mentioned somewhere a while back by Florglee. I love the fact that a man found a way to educate the common man while feeding those in need. It's addicting too. I've donated over 10,000 grains of rice total. ^ ^ We had to do it during English last year. Ah, what a great teacher I had... I think the most I've donated at once is like 2000. Took forever. xD

That's very nice Cholokid. Seeing a fellow Armorgamer wanting to help those in need. 2000 grains of rice, thats a nice number. The most ever donated at once was around 6300 or something like that. It took about 2-3 hours.

There's one thing I've always wanted to know is; How to they count the individual grains of rice.

This is a really great website. I love how you can help the poor while educating yourself. But how do we know that they are actually donating the amount of rice that they say they are?

I just heard about it last week from my friend - very nice how it encourages you to learn as well as motivates you to get them right.

Wow, coicedence! I was just on it.
I think it is a cool site. Is says that sponsors pay for your donated rice. I bet that they count out the grains by weight, so you might not donate the exact amount. I donated 3000 yesterday.

I have donated 2,540 grains. I looked it up and these people accually do doonate the rice. The only problem is, 1000 grains of rice is only about a bowl of rice.

I usually have the window open for a VERY LONG TIME. I usually do it for an hour or so straight at a time, but never close he window. I count one sitting as until I close the window.

Yeah, It does get quite suspicious. But hey, you're learning so I think its a win - win situation.
