Wow! In 2 weeks we have donated an amazing total of 2,748,460 grains of rice, more than double the first thread and enough rice to feed more than 137 people! Me and Uli would like to personally thank every single one of you that contributed to this cause, with a few especially bright lights standing out among the rest.
Also, if you all could please give congratulations to Uli, on the amazing job she has done with providing the statistics and launching the idea of having the statistics on a Spreadsheet. Thank you, Uli!

Now on to the more sadder news.
As you all probably know, the Freerice grains per click has been lowered to 10 from 20 grains, in response to heightening price of Rice, the global recession, and the following credit crunch. Well, it has hit home with the FreeRice thread as well. Until FreeRice raises the grains per click back from 10 to 20, this will be the last FreeRice thread for an indefinite period of time. We might occasionally hold a "Mini-Challenge", a short 1 week, non-tallied, casual donation thread, but until the global recession ends, this could well be the last FreeRice thread. Thank you all for participating!

Also, Stealth Eagle has this to say:

I would like to thank everyone who took part in this Freerice Challenge, We have helped to feed over 130 people and that is something that we should all be proud of. Thank you again.

SE.


I mimic this, please continue to donate casually to FreeRice, whether there is a thread or not.

Thank you & Best Regards to all contributors,
Luke.

And I leave you tonight with the final Statistics.
(Moderators: Please leave this thread open for a minimum of 3 days)

Standard Statistics:


Daily Donations:


Exotic Statistics:


Thank you all for participating, every single one of you...
- Luke.
