    Seems fine.
    I was referred to this little charitable game by a colleague on the business network, LinkedIn. That site generates revenue based on the number of impressions those advertisements get, so don't feel obligated to click on the advertisements, too, if you think that they're not getting their rice or something.
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    32 or 33. But then I was concentrating on my Business more. Yes, that is an adequate excuse...

    Around 36/37 was my average. Highest was 41. Most of the hard ones I just used common sense on, and it turned out right.

    Got bored at 1680.

    This is great. Donated 1680 grains of rice, at a vocab level of 42. I'll probably come back later, since I like stretching my vocabulary.

    EDIT: 44 now, with another 400 grains donated. That's probably my limit, but as long as it keeps donating rice I might as well go for it. xD

    I did this a couple months back. Stopped at about 3,000 grains of rice. It was only ten grains of rice per win back then. D=

    I stopped at a couple thousand, with the max skill level. After a certain point, my sister and I started cheating and used dictionaries to get a couple more thousand, making it a competition between the two of us as to who knew more words. I won, of course!

    40 for me. I gave up after around 1000. It's so hard to get your score back up when you lose a point though!

    I donated around 1000 grains before stopping. I like it. You're improving your vocabulary whilst doing something good for others at the same time. I'll definitely do it again.

    Played this several months ago and had a score that was generally in the high 30s or low 40s with a bit of luck. Donated a lot of grains of rice over the course of about a week but then I never went back. *bookmarks*
