Free Rice. It's a website that helps you feed the poor by answering questions correctly. Every correct answer earns 10 grains of rice for a starving person somewhere on the planet. Give it a go.

This reminds me of those stupid things we used to do at school. My opinion, there're starving children who might die, you have the food to feed them, but you'll keep it from them unless we do stupid math.

Pretty much this.

Additionally, according to the internet, it takes 19,000 grains of rice to feed a person for a day. It takes me about 5 minutes on here to get a thousand. Interesting.

Doesn't have to be math. You can do meanings of English words on here xD

I know a guy who hacked this to give out 300,000,000 grains of rice. That's only 16000 people for a day. Rounded up.

You got work to do guys.

Considering that the amount of grains per month currently isn't trending to be much higher than that level, I'm inclined to believe they just removed those 300,000,000.

I was expecting to call BS on the Free Rice thing. I have a fair amount of confidence in http://www.snopes.com to investigate and state whether the latest email rumor is true or not. Snopes claims this is a real deal. I am surprised. :oops:

I went onto the free rice site for a bit and answered a bunch of questions - I hope it helps.

Considering it is run by the UN it would be strange if it were fake.

@Joshua What I said earlier still goes.
