lol 20 grains, not grams…i think grams would be quite generous…actually would it?
been on there before, its quite a fun game. gets well hard quick tho if ur too good at it

i been on there b4 as well .. and i got to lvl 6 woot :laugh_at: … i was suprised at how many i got right actualy *is proud of him self :weee:

lol ive been on level 49 before

ive been on level 57

who counts the rice???????:hopeless:

People who grow it 😉 It can be done with a computer linked to a camera, provided the rice is filtered through a small enough and constant size area, and fed in at a constant rate. A British scientist invented this gadget about 25 years ago for this purpose (also to count seeds, grain and other small items). I had the link to his website but have unfortunately lost it.

The Japanese have improved on this technique, and have worked out how to count the grains from a photo of the rice ears in the field!

Most countries agriculture ministries and rice producers have however agreed on roughly how many grains there are in your average 25kg sack of rice (it varies depending on the type of rice, if you google for it the figures are quoted in various places).

The way this site works is they wait until people have got enough rice for a sack, and then the advertisers on the site buy one for the UN (the way its funded is that the advertisers hope you will eventually get bored of difficult words and try to buy an ipod or whatever the ads are, which are pitched at students).

I think its a particularly good idea especially for people in places like Singapore where everyone wants to learn English but can’t often take part in other forms of activism..

nah, the scientist who made the original rice/grain counter (and the Japanese who have improved on the technology) are far cleverer.. I just make computers work, and spend my spare time contributing to a website which encourages people to do things that are viewed as morally questionable..

but what those scientists have done with their technology helps improve the yield of rice and ultimately feeds loads of people…

:sign0021:

What a clever idea!
I got too addicted to that game :crazy_diz I got to Level 32, not bad for a first try I guess 🙂
