For those who haven't played in a while, Free Rice now both starts at an easier level, and has much harder high levels. When I'm playing English vocabulary, I now start myself at level 20 or 30, rather than working through 60 words of elementary school spelling lists. But the other categories are a ton of fun. Tonight I did basic math, and then had to google how to divide fractions! And then I did French vocab, and didn't get one wrong until level neuf! I also like doing the "identify famous paintings" one, because, c'mon, paintings!

For those who haven't played, FreeRice is a trivia game that fundraises for the World Food Programme, which is my charity of choice. While the amount that you actually, personally contribute is limited (I've counted; 100 grains of rice is about a teaspoonful), it is a pleasant diversion, and one that appears to be a net social positive.

So, come. Play. Geek out. It's fun.
