Rice for Words

How good is your vocabulary? I found this little quiz-thing over at Rice Daddies and thought I’d try it out. Before my brain fizzled through my ears, I got a word score of 45, which I hope is not on a scale of 100 (edit: oh, good, it’s on a scale of 50, and they say it’s “rare” to get over 48). I never know whether to trust these things that say, if you click here we will do this, but allegedly for every word you get right, rice is donated. This is how they explain it all. In the meantime, I boosted my grey matter a little bit today.

What a lot of fun! I feel smarter already. Excuse me while I go count rice grains — anybody know how many are in a cup of cooked rice??

wow, this is more fun than the SAT’s! No, I actually liked it and got up to 47 for a minute, though I admit I guessed right on a bunch.

That’s exactly what I thought: it’s like taking the SATs for the fun of it. Word-Geeks unite!

Well, this was fun, but I did not do as well as you did. I like thinking that I donated grains of rice while choosing correctly some of the time, guessing correctly some of the time and guessing wrong some of the time.
