Improve your vocabulary and donate free rice :)

[kentauros]

I learned about this last year and sometimes play with it. It's a fun little game that gives you a word and then four possible answers from which to choose. You can also do grammar, other languages, math, geography and all the others I can't remember on the Subjects page.

According to their FAQ, playing the game helps to donate free rice to the hungry though the sponsors of the site. I haven't checked the legitimacy of this elsewhere, because it's still a cool site for learning new words :)

1. I'm gonna believe it's on the level,

and I'm playing the simple math game - I'm just not up for any serious challenge tonight - and it's really seductive, great fun, and adding up those rice grains, while not very much in the scheme of things, does give me a rather nice feeling. Different from writing a check.

Thank you very much for this, and believe me, this one goes into Favorite Places, along with this - http://www.fireworkspop.com/ - which doesn't accomplish much (no rice), but it's fun..................

5. My three daughters LOVE this site. They showed it to me a long time ago.

I should visit it more often than I do - thanks for kicking my brain.
