Free Rice

ah, now we find out exactly why latin and greek roots were important in school.

give it a try, the more you guess right the harder they get, but it's rather addicting.

tintinnabulation. Awesome.

My best is 38, haven't dropped below 36 since getting there.

VOCAB LEVEL: 43
YOUR BEST LEVEL: 43

You have now donated
460 grains of rice.

Then I got bored.

You people need to read more. :-P

I got up to 39 without trouble, maintained 36+, and was then knocked down all the way to 29. How in the world is tripple a 29? And how is conflagaration a 38? Makes no sense... :?

VOCAB LEVEL: 40
YOUR BEST LEVEL: 42

I maintained between 38 and 40, occasionally rising higher or dropping to 37.
Donated well over 3000 grains before giving up. Time to watch The Grinch, anyway.

My best is now 42. It helps to know some Latin but it doesn't help enough, it seems.

Haven't dropped below 38 for a while now but I feel I've donated far too many grains of rice. 6900 to be exact.

I've had weeks of practice with this thing. Sometimes I've made it to level 50, which appears to be the absolute limit.

Best so far is 43, but I usually stay within 38-41.

Does it help to state that almost every time I was able to select an answer before the page even finished loading? Or does that make me a nerd?

Best 42, mostly hovered around 40, never below 35 (I think). A neat way to kill time, I'll probably do it a bunch at work. The charity part is gravy.
