..I better not tell you my results..it will make you all jealous and I would end on all your ignore lists...

While interesting at first, I quickly realized how little of an impact my question-answering was making.
29,000 grains in a pound means 1,812.5 grains per ounce which means 182 correct questions per ounce of rice. Assuming you can answer these questions correctly at a rate of one question for every two seconds, this means that you would spend 364 seconds, or just over 6 minutes, answering questions. Given that I can buy a box of rice for less than $5 at the local supermarket, I think it would be a better deal for me to just write a check for $5 to the United Nations World Food Program (where the "free riceHOW MANY GRAINS OF RICE IN A POUND? Stingy ass mothers. Don't see how this could help much.
According to Producer's Rice Mills, (http://www.producersrice.com/rice/facts.html), there are over 29,000 grains in a pound of long grain white rice.
You'd have slightly fewer for long grain brown, as each grain retains its bran layer. Short grain rice is 3-4 times shorter, so you'd have 3-4 times as many in a pound
So just play it more :)
But what is more likely? You play the game some more, or you donate money? Your vocabulary also improves, and the game is fun. As yesterdays total was 212,660,970 grains, that equates to roughly 1,800 pounds of rice, assuming you get four times as many per pound. That is not bad for a daily sum generated by an online flash game. It will also attract revenue from people who would not think of donating to charity.
So there.
Man I'm glad this isn't getting graded.
40 not bad i guess.
Ill try it again.
Got more rice.
There should be a freeramen game

I checked the site/blog that, I think, originated the claim (the one that it is true, anyways, there's a bunch of them without real proof).Quote:

Turns out some guy decided it was a scam, and set out to prove it, ultimately having people use a bunch of clicking macros to donate the rice.
As evidence he cites numbers of successful clicks as given through browsers running macros, and then compares it to the amount of rice reported given by the site at the end of the month, or somesuch.
So he's cheating the site to prove it, and telling everyone the site is the scam.
He also claims that the owner of the site pockets the supposed revenues that didn't go into rice, although this can't proven.
He even has the WFP (World Food programme) commenting on his site/blog, saying they would very much like him to stop.
I wouldn't be entirely surprised if it's more to do with a database issue, and that the number of simultaneous commands issued by the bots fuck up the amount of clicks submitted to the database.
At any rate that wee mythbuster there sounds like a massive cunt.
Fuck sake. What a load of bollocks that was then.Quote:

My missus was all into it yet sceptical as feck.
Still it was a good game and Bob Gandolf has got the job well in hand.
So no harm done.
Also, Benjamin, you are a cawk.
yeah ffs, benchelks, you're practically scamming by association.
Shame on you :dry:
Maybe i'm actually eating all the rice. :sneaky:
