Total Donation: 483,640 grains of rice, enough to feed a single adult for approximately a month.

Thank you to everyone who participated. Those who did worked very hard, especially Breakdown. I would have liked to see a greater amount of participants and a higher total amount of grains of rice generated. I figured with such a large prize and a relatively decent timeframe there would've been more donated, but, every grain helps.

Thank you to everyone. Credits have been sent.







I haven't really played this game seriously in a long time, and I was never very good, so I've decided to give away all my credits. I wanted to try to give them away for some greater good or purpose, so I've decided to create a contest that will determine who wins the credits and in the process who feeds the needy. I have 120,398 credits right now, and they are all up for grabs. Here is how it works.

Go to http://www.freerice.com

Start answering questions and donating rice to the needy. Rack up as much rice as you possibly can. When you are finished, be sure to have your rice total on the screen in one window, and also visible next to it your ffr profile in the other window. This is to discourage cheating. In addition, make sure your total is not divisible by 1000. So if you have earned 10,000 grains of rice, answer one more question. This is another measure to ensure cheating does not occur.

So basically, post a screen shot displaying both your ffr profile and your rice total with a total that you probably couldn't pull of google. You will win credits and feed the needy! It is a win win!

Highest total: 50,000 credits
2nd Highest Total: 30,000 credits
3rd Highest Total: 15,000 credits
4th Highest Total: 10,000 credits
5th Highest Total: 5,000 credits
6th Highest Total: 4,000 credits
7th Highest Total: 3,000 credits
8th Highest Total: 2,000 credits
9th Highest Total: 1,000 credits
10th Highest Total: 398 credits



If anyone would like to donate credits to this contest to help encourage people to donate rice, that would be very appreciated. Good luck, you have until 11:59pm Sunday August 17th (eastern time). No scores posted after this time will be accepted. Either post your total in this thread or PM it to me. Thanks and good luck!

Edit: Thanks to an incredibly generous donation by Sprite, the prizes have been greatly increased .

Edit2: It has come to my attention that the counter resets at 100,000 grains. If anyone reaches this amount, you have to take two screen shots. One must be taken at 100,000 grains, and the other right after the counter resets at 20 grains. You must have 3 windows present in each of the screen shots, one window displaying the grain total, one window displaying your ffr profile, and the last window displaying the accurate time using http://www.time.gov/timezone.cgi?Eastern/d/-5/java . You will need to be able to utilize java to use this clock. If possible, make a video.

Edit3: The deadline has been extended to 11:59pm Sunday August 17th because I will be without computer access Friday and Saturday. This gives everyone a chance to donate more rice. Hurray!

It helps people and it does improve your vocabulary

Unfortunately when you put it in such a competitive atmosphere you'll find that people will just find quick ways to get the most rather than actually learning anything.

i.e. quickest way is just to have 2 tabs open. One with this rice thing and one on google with "Define:" already wrote in the bar.

When you get the word on rice, CAP it into google bar, take definition, get correct. Rinse repeat 5000x.

Some of these words are easy, but then you find a bunch that you really have never heard of due to not living in a certain region, I.e. gharry(India/Egypt), kilderkin, furphy(Australia), sobranje(Bulgaria).

Edit: I agree with TRD, but it does not matter because even if you cheat you are helping people. Everyone wins.

I have a question. If we are supposed to submit a grandtotal of the amount of rice, are we allowed to send multiple screenshots? I'm asking this because when you close out of the page, it doesn't save your score.

archbishopjabber
08-7-2008, 06:40 PM
It all has to be one screen shot. Otherwise cheating would be way too easy. I think there is an option to have it save your total though. You probably need cookies enabled to do it.

EDIT: Yes, you can do it. Just go to options and select "Remember my Total Rice Donation from the last time I played when I start FreeRice."

You will probably want to test it before you go donating a ton of grains to make sure it works though.

I doubt that would happen. People will screen shot at 1000, and then screen shot at 2000, but count them both separately. There really is not a way to prove that they were different runs.

Good luck to everyone, and may the most benevolent person (or person with most time on their hands) win. In case anyone was wondering, it seems like it takes somewhere between 15k and 20k grains of rice to feed one person for a day. That is assuming they get 2100 kilocalories. A person can survive on less than that, but 2100 is a healthy amount.

Ihatetoruinyourfunbutihav
08-7-2008, 08:47 PM
From what I've read on Wikipedia and a few other sources, the counter resets when we reach 100k grains of rice. It looks like we're going to have to submit multiple screenshots of how much rice we have, all with very good proof of the time, if any of us surpasses 100k grains. This means taking a screenshot EXACTLY when each interval of 100k grains are made so that the screenshots can be added up. Taking a screenshot earlier than that means that there's no way to tell if the rice counter was just reset early or they really did pass 100k grains. This could be a problem, Arch, although it shouldn't be if we take good screenshots.

Won't work.

Step 1) Get 100k
Step 2) Take pic
Step 3) Wait 22.4 hours
Step 4) Take another pic
Step 5) Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you win

Ihatetoruinyourfunbutihav
08-7-2008, 09:12 PM
I guess it will be necessary to take a screenshot of hitting 100k then getting 20 more grains right after that, and then repeating the process for each interval of 100k grains that you make. This means TWO screenshots for each interval of 100k grains made. There is no way to game that if there is proof of the time.

Edit: For proof of time, perhaps an atomic time server should be used, windows time can be changed pretty easily.

archbishopjabber
08-7-2008, 09:23 PM
Ultimately there will be ways to cheat. I will have to go with my gut about not counting someone's if I think they are bs, but the atomic clock is a good idea. So, if you hit 100,000, use an atomic clock, then take another turn, then take another screen shot.

tangomango
08-7-2008, 09:23 PM
In addition, make sure your total is not divisible by 1000. So if you have earned 10,000 grains of rice, answer one more question. This is another measure to ensure cheating does not occur.

I think that we should take screenshots of 99,980, instead of the 100,000, because you can find scores with the 100,000 all over the google.


From what I've read on Wikipedia and a few other sources, the counter resets when we reach 100k grains of rice.

I thought you said that it wasn't possible to get over 100,000, so there's no way you can get 100,020.

archbishopjabber
08-7-2008, 09:26 PM
Do you guys think it is fair for me to request a video if you are approaching or surpassing 100,000? What I'm thinking is a requirement of a video showing the time clock http://www.time.gov/timezone.cgi?Eastern/d/-5/java going in the background with the user reaching 100,000 and then surpassing it. Video's must also show the users ffr profile.

Breakdown16
08-7-2008, 09:30 PM
I don't feel that it is fair since not everyone does have access to a camera, but if it's necessary, then go right ahead.

You misunderstood what I said. I said that you should take two screenshots, one of when you reach 100k, and another of when you get 20 more grains of rice, which means that your total will only be 20 grains.

I don't feel that it is fair since not everyone does have access to a camera, but if it's necessary, then go right ahead.

A camera is not required. Taking a couple of screenshots or using a video recording program would be much easier. Just have 3 windows open, one of freerice, one of your profile, and one of an atomic time server displaying the time, or just take a video of the process.

archbishopjabber
08-7-2008, 09:41 PM
Alright. I'll do it with the three screen shots then. A video would be more secure, but I don't want to exclude anyone. Plus cheating on something like this would give you insane bad karma.

Ihatetoruinyourfunbutihav
08-7-2008, 09:50 PM
Well, I would think that taking two screenshots of the three windows or using video would be fine. All I was trying to say is that a camera isn't necessary, although using a camera or using a video recording program to record whatever is on the screen would be fine if you're going to use the video method.

This contest will be won by someone utilizing an auto clicker. Not cool.

If you try to go too fast, you'll get this message:

Sorry, we are unable to process rice donations so fast.

Please click BACK on your browser and try again.

I don't think that using an autoclicker will be much if any of a speed advantage, becuase for each question you'll only have a 1/4 chance of getting the correct answer, and you'll have to hit the back button a lot.

wait what????? we can only do one that sucks see i accedently thought that it reset at 10,000 not 100,000 so i took my first SS on 9860 and i didnt think i could submit one over 9860 because then it would look like a continuation so i made sure to SS at 9860 each time :( im a dumbass

however if they do count
9860
9860
9860
9860
5540
45,980


EDIT so we have another week?

Haha I'll just submit mine now.

I was on a roll until words like Platyhelminthes popped up in my face and then it went all downhill from there. :/

Yeah, but LONE Wolf, the next time you start over, just keep going past 10,000. It will be a lot easier, and I'll trust that you legitimately did it.

i don't get it. why do they have people answer a bunch of question in order for them in order to donate rice?

Edit:sorry to say that i'm never doing this. it's not that i don't want to help donate rice, i really do, but it's an old history thing i had with this page that i can't do it. piz za

20 pieces of rice is so cheap that every time you load the page the ad's pay for the rice. To keep people loading the page, they have them do vocabulary.

Just a reminder, there are less than 2 days remaining until the end of the contest, and over 120,000 credits are at stake, so everyone keep donating!

"you have to take two screen shots. One must be taken at 100,000 grains, and the other right after the counter resets at 20 grains"

does the counter show 100,000 or does it reset after 99,980?
And do you mean we are supposed to take a second screenshot at exactly 20 grains after we break 100,000? or when we are done?

100,000 is the last it shows. Then it resets. Showing the screen shot of 20 grains directly after with the atomic clock in the background just proves that you did indeed hit 100,000 and the counter reset right after that. You can hit 100,000 multiple times if you feel so inclined so long as you show the clock each time along with your ffr profile.

Your score can't be divisible by 1000.

Better donate more rice. Only one SS will count?

Oh, I apologize for this, but I just found out that I'm going to be without internet access until Sunday night so I'm granting a two day extension to the context. This will give everyone a chance to use the weekend to donate more rice and feed more starving people.

Time is up. Totals will be up within a half an hour.

Edit: Totals are up. Breakdown 16 has been sending me screen shots via PM's, and he ended up being the overall winner of the contest. I'm sending out credits now...
