Thanks for the bump Sukilena.... In all the excitement you forgot to post your contribution. You have to have your FreeRice preferences set to "restart my grain count everytime I visit Freerice." Otherwise me & Uli will have problems with the stats (such as calculating how much rice you donated today) and you won't be eligible for the Largest Single Donation.... Regards, Luke. 10,000 grains from me. EDIT: Thanks for the bump and thanks Andy. - Luke. |

37,300 from son and myself. Hi Gonad the Destroyer! Just a question regarding your pic and points: How is it possible that the counter shows 37.300 when on the pic only appear seven bowls of rice valued for 1000 each, which makes 7.000 and three small plates with 100 each, which makes 300 and adding all up comes to a total of 7.300 grains? I must say that I never got so far. Maybe reaching the 10 thousand barrier, it starts again with 1.000 grains bowls? Maybe the webmaster did not plan ahead for heavy crunchers like SETI members??!!??!!! I think the question is pertinent, on behalf of the pic provided. Cheers! |

It does restart at 10,000, and every 10,000 after that, it just keeps the counter going up and up. I noticed that myself the other day. Thats a good question....... |

37,300 from son and myself. GREETINGSmy bowl empties after every 100 points today's KITCHEN SCIENCE REPORT: this is neat -- i just counted all this out -- it took a couple of hours. 3020 GRAINS of a small grained WHITE RICE (possibly basmanti) weighs 56.34 grams or 2 ounces and MAKES ABOUT 182 GRAMS, or about 6.5 ounces OF COOKED RICE. This would fill your tummy for a while... I pray that you also have clean water and vitamins. Now i am going to go put some ghee and honey on my experiment and have breakfast! keep telescopic listening devices aimed at the Zenith of the Horizon |
