Free Rice!

[neuromasser]

Has anyone been on http://www.freerice.com ?

Any thoughts on this site? To me it seems weird, like I'm playing with someone's food :/

Spoiler: Also

I know the site is almost two years old, but I stumbled upon it few minutes ago.

What is it?

You answer questions based on general academic knowledge, then for every answer you get right they donate -- I think -- Ten grains of rice to people in need. There's a geography based one called Free Poverty which does the same thing only with cups of water. FP is more interesting to me.

I donated 110 grains of rice!...
Then i got bored.

I did exactly the same amount and thought "I need brain food to".

What is the limit of questions

Ah, yes! About this time last year I wrote an article about this site for my weekly website feature in the local newspaper. It is a great site I highly recommend visiting, if only to be charitable.

There are also a couple of geography categories on FreeRice, in which you identify countries on a map and world capitals.
::EDIT:: Apologies for the double-post; I am new to this and not sure how to go about quoting you after I'd read your reply and already posted mine.

So, where's the free rice I was promised? I'm starving over here!

I got 200 and got bored and decided to post here.

I got to 3010. I'm pretty bored now and should probably be getting back to work.
