You have now donated 3140 grains of rice.

I've donated over 6000 total, I'll assume.

Go me.
*cheers*

This is a really wonderful idea, and I really admre the company who came up with this idea. I've seen everyone in my school play it at one point or another, and I think it's quite effective (especially for me to help me study for SATs XD).

Currently: 1,120 grains

15 000, what.

That's insane.

I mean, I had to start over and I had 2 000.

However, I'm up to 6 020 now.

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.

How do you guys answer so fast? -___-

It takes me a few seconds to dissect the word into it's meaning, or I just pick the weirdest word in the list.

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

Re: Earn Credits and Feed the Needy!
 
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.

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.

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.

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

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.
