I'm only in the low 30s, but perhaps that's not bad for a swede Razz

Let's see now. If you are about average, you may get like 4 correct answers a minute, which sums up to 2400 grains of rice an hour. If you spent that hour at work, and then donating the extra money you made to some organisation buying rice, how much more/less rice would that yield? Rolling Eyes

I was doing good and the site crashed. So I had to start over......I got a bunch of words in a row correct and my Vocab level wouldn't change above 28 Confused I don't know.

I still want to know who physically sits down and counts each grain of rice.

Its simple really... the people who are being fed... When they bring the rice in they simply tell em to each take 50 grains. Razz

I'm going to hazard guess that "counting" is done approximately by weight. Laughing

... or more likely by the fractions of a cent that the advertisers pay for each view.

Now, that's what I call robbing the rich to feed the poor.

I suppose that makes us the Merrie Men (and, of course, their buxom wenches). Laughing
