donating rice by the grain - weird

"Imagine living for a whole year on one grain of rice..."

one grain of rice on the first chess square, two on the second, four on the third...

> donating rice by the grain - weird
They know the game is addictive - those ten grains of rice per answer add up fast.

but rice isn't sold by the grain
― Heave Ho, Sunday, 4 November 2007 12:16 (eighteen years ago)
Perhaps they have some formula, like a pound of rice usually has 2000 grains. Hard to fathom, I know.
― Oilyrags, Sunday, 4 November 2007 12:18 (eighteen years ago)
I don't really believe these "donations for clicks" things but the game aspect is irresistable. I want to get to level 50, I did 49 a few times. At last all that Modernist literature has paid off.

45,760,870 grains yesterday. Sounds like a lot.
I got up to level 46 but then fell apart.
Tinea = ringworm!

42, keeps giving me all this weirde olde englishe shite.
can't i just post them a boil in the bag?

That was 15 minutes or so in a hole. 1000 grains and couldn't get past 43.
― Alba, Sunday, 4 November 2007 12:50 (eighteen years ago)
got to 44 (=170 grains) then got 'betimes' wrong. awful. :(

FORTY SEVEN!

tache=buckle; that was a pretty blind stab.
― Oilyrags, Sunday, 4 November 2007 12:56 (eighteen years ago)
Oh, on my second go I got to level 45 by 230 grains. Mind you, one word did come up that I'd learned the previous time around. I hope it doesn't run out of words too fast.
― Alba, Sunday, 4 November 2007 13:00 (eighteen years ago)
I'm kind of astonished how often my guesses are right.
46, and Alba's right. I wonder if they cheat a little on the harder words. I had to intentionally get some wrong after the first dozen or so just to make sure.
― Mark C, Sunday, 4 November 2007 13:27 (eighteen years ago)
I got to 50. For a couple of words.
― Noodle Vague, Sunday, 4 November 2007 14:30 (eighteen years ago)
after 1000 grains, I finally managed to pass level 46, only to immediately get my first level 47 word wrong. and the next two it threw at me.

"ovine = sheep-like"
Oh hello of course.

I like that they call it "free vocabulary," gives new meaning to "25 cent words." "You have donated 20 new vocabularies."
― Abbott, Monday, 5 November 2007 05:26 (eighteen years ago)
Oh, I hit level 50 a few times. That achieved, I lost interest. They should do a WoW and add 10 new levels.
― Casuistry, Monday, 5 November 2007 05:47 (eighteen years ago)
yeah i'm stuck at 46
― moonship journey to baja, Monday, 5 November 2007 05:48 (eighteen years ago)
around when i got to 2000 grains it started to repeat...
