I'm always looking for ways to improve my vocab skills, and now all of that skill-building pays off in the form of rice donated through the UN to feed the hungry. Yay!
You are given a multiple choice question like this:
free:
mandolin
cook
complimentary
cake
and for each answer you get right, 10 grains of rice get donated, without limit. Some are easy, but there are some definite challenges, too.
On the day the website went up (October 7), 830 grains were donated . . . yesterday, 188,987,290 grains were donated. So, if there are over 29,000 grains of long grain white rice in a pound, that would mean . . . over 6,516 pounds, just yesterday!
Thanks for sharing, Emily!
