Hi Folks, not long until the stats for tonight!

As you already know, I donated 100,000 grains of rice in a single sitting out of curiosity. And as you also already know, Uli is matching me grain for grain. I'd just like to point out that I have given Uli 7 days to catch up with me... So it will once again become even between us.

@ All Also - I have been inundated with a flood of PM's, and I currently have a backlog of 3 (I spent about an hour replying to others...) So, I may take a while getting back to you all.
- Luke.

Thanks Mate, I was able to complete 15,000 kernels today. Maybe tomorrow I can make a bigger dent in our deficit.

Wow... our biggest donation day ever! And not only did we pass 1,000,000 grains, we passed the record of the first FreeRice thread in 6 days!



And today's exotic statistics:



Thank You. Every single one of you!

Very nice Luke, and everyone who has contributed. This has been a fun thing to do. I mostly just play the multiplication tables, they are just the easiest way to gain the numbers to feed the hungry. This challenge has sure brought the best out of a lot of people. I have no doubt we will make the 2 million grains by the end of the challenge. I'm off for a few days now, and I will be working to hammer out some more numbers, hopefully more than what I've already done.

Luke and Uli, both of you, thank you for doing the stat's as well. Really helps keep track of everything everyone has done. Keep up the good work, and thanks again for the fun challenge!

You are most welcome. :-) Trying to get over a cold right now, so 3 days off from work is most welcome. So that gives me some time to collect more rice for our challenge. LOL Keep up the great work again. Off to bed for me now, goodnight!
