Donate rice!; All while extending your vocabulary!

FreeRice is a very interesting website. On the website you are given vocab questions, testing your vocabulary (i.e. indubitably means.: ...). For every vocab question you get right, they donate 20 grains of rice to hungry people around the world!

Try it, it'll make you feel good. I got stuck on level 32, got addicted, and ended up playing the game for almost two hours to beat my score.

I has a lot of time on my hands. :( Post your highest level and grain count! BTW, if you go to options, you can set it to save your stats.
I want the good times back.

Level 37 is the highest I could go so far...

:magic: EDIT- I had to remove the image. It was stretching the page too much. If you could crop it more or resize it, that'd be great.

Why can't they just donate food to starving kids without having us answer questions?
Our Larry
Who art in RD
Awesome be thy name
Thy sauce will come
Thy worshiping be done
in RD as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily mole
And forgive us our censors
As we (might) forgive those who censor against us
And lead us not into dictatorship
But deliver us from censorship
In the name of the :bottles:, the :awesome:, and the Holy :banananananana:
Amen.

This game is so sick. They'll only donate rice if you play, but if you don't? AIDS babies dead, EVERYWHERE.

From their FAQ:

If FreeRice has the rice to give, why not give it all away right now?

FreeRice is not sitting on a pile of rice―you are earning it 20 grains at a time. Here is how it works. When you play the game, advertisements appear on the bottom of your screen. The money generated by these advertisements is then used to buy the rice. So by playing, you generate the money that pays for the rice donated to hungry people.

I want the good times back.

I'm up to 2100 grains and I've gotten to lvl 38. It's weird, I feel good about donating, but it cancels itself out with "ah, I should know that word" syndrome. :P

Edit: On a cool note, around 1,800 grains make up an ounce, so I've donated around 2.5oz so far.
