Re Vocabulary test

I feel dumb. But it least it doesn't take any rice away when I go back down a level

When I started I thought "this is hard?" Pretty soon I was saying "this IS hard!" LOL

Re Vocabulary test

I made it to level 50, but backed down from there pretty quickly when I kept answering questions.

Re Vocabulary test

I got up to 46, but then started falling and couldn't get back up!

810 grains of rice donated (on this last attempt).

Re Vocabulary test

I'm posting now because I'm sure I'll do horribly, but I'm willing to feel stupid for rice for the hungry.

Re Vocabulary test

Wow! I amazed myself. I got to 270 and quit while I was ahead. I guessed on MANY, but I only got 2 wrong. Good thing they didn't want me to spell anything!!

Re Vocabulary test

I love this! So, you can keep going as long as you'd like? I got up to 1030 grains of rice. I'm going to email the site to friends, so thanks for showing us that, Emma.

Re Vocabulary test

I kept bouncing back and forth between 46 and 42. I finally had to tear myself away. Wow, what a time suck!

Thanks for the link. It was an enjoyable time suck.

Re Vocabulary test

This was fun! I felt good if I stayed a 40 for a few minutes. I need to start
putting prestidigitation into more of my conversations.

Re Vocabulary test

It wasn't hard to get into the 40's, but after that things would go awry.

By the time I got to 50 for the second time I was up to about 1200.

But it was fun challenging myself and learning a few new words while feeding the needy

Fun...as Frazz said, it was great to learn and do a bit of mind bending while feeding the needy!!!

What a cool site! I had a lot of rice, but still didn't see level 50!

Re Vocabulary test

I never got past 46, and I had 2080 grains of rice. This is just adictive; I think I did it for 30 minutes straight.
