Help some starving people out, and learn some new vocabulary in the process! I think the idea is pretty good. Have 3 small ads on a page, and those sponsers pay the site some amount of money for each hit they get, then all that money goes towards buying rice for the United Nations to give out to people.

I only got to level 32 max. 50 is the highest. My vocabulary could be better, apparently. Dontated 1000 grains of rice in the process though

I got up to 2020 grains, but the questions were repeating and I got bored.

Given that the advertisers aren't stupid, I sincerely doubt that the amount of rice is based on number of questions, but instead on what all internet advertising is based on: click-throughs. The advertisers will only fork over the cash (or rice, in this case) if they know they're getting something from it.

If only we could click our way to solving Africa's some of real problems.

A friend of mine and I played last night. Together (largly thanks to her), we averaged around 42. Our lowest being 37, highest being 45. Gained about 5000 grains before I called it quits. She's freaky smart when it comes to language.
