Given the recent events in Haiti...... I think it appropriate that the kitties launch the next Free Rice challenge. Luke's last effort racked up about 1.3 million, if I am correct...... I am not the stats or pretty graph keeper that Luke was, maybe he can monitor this time around too. But.......don't you think.....it's time for some more Free Rice... I am not the biggest contributor on this, so don't be surprised if I do not lead the charge, but....follow me nonetheless. What 'ya say, mates? "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."

Just what is needed around here. 500 grains from me as a start. As you were saying Mark, just looking back over the prior threads, my threads have racked up 5,295,410 grains. I think Mark's thread could do better than my average. Just a note to any one who cares, a baseline of rice donation is = 20,000 grains of standard jasmine grain rice is enough to provide the caloric needs of a single average American adult daily. - Luke. |

Home from work to find a new challenge. Yipee! Too tired to do much more than a mere 1000 grains, tho. More tomorrow, I promise. :) Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas. Albert Einstein |

My wife does crosswords, sudoku, ken ken, and other puzzles; and "Free Rice" is great for learning/mental stimulation/insomnia... ...we would have joined in on the earlier Rice Bowls, but I was under the (mistaken) impression that it involved downloading a toolbar; and the grains of rice came from visiting websites-- don't know how I came up with that... |

My wife does crosswords, sudoku, ken ken, and other puzzles; You can just close the popup and continue without downloading anything at all.....as I am sure you know now. Just wanted to clarify for any other budding rice worshipers. You don't have to download anything to contribute. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |
