144,482 Grains of Rice Donated! Freerice Challenge Over!

[Blique 211]

The challenge is over! Sorry, no round two - maybe sometime in the future.

 

 

Hello~ I wanted to give out free art for the holidays, and thought it would be nice to do some more widespread help in the process.

 

For those who don't know, Freerice is a simple quiz site that donates rice to the United Nations World Food Program for every answer you get right. They pay for it with their ad revenue, so it's no cost to you. They offer many quiz subjects, from Famous Quotations, to World Flags, to Latin and French!

 

For this challenge, everyone interested will make an account and join a specific group on Freerice, and I'll monitor the score counts for each person. The person with the highest score after one week will be deemed the winner, and will receive a free digital art commission from me. If there are a lot of people, 2nd and 3rd place winners will get commissions too. In addition, the higher your score, the higher the quality of your commission!

 

The schedule:

12/1 - 12/7: gathering players

12/8 - 12/14: the games begin!

12/25: prizes are awarded

 

The challenge has ended! Amazing work, everyone!

 

1. The Pulse - 70,000 grains

2. Kolth - 25,660 grains

3. Rough Pathway - 20,560 grains

4. Shaymin - 10,380 grains

5. Blazing Hoof - 5,350 grains

6. websterhamster - 4,490 grains

7. Esjaybee - 3,550 grains

8. Troblems - 2,260 grains

9. repsol rave - 1,100 grains

10. Chigens - 900 grains

Oh geez, I used to play Freerice back in middle school. Count me interested!

[repsol rave 2,963]

player reporting! i would love to participate in this

[websterhamster 203]

I am very interested in this! I look forward to getting the group info.

[Ihei 713]

I'd love to join! Seems like a nifty website: count me in! :3

[The Pulse 210]

I'm definitely interested. I just have to remember to participate.

[AgileFawkes 15]

Sign me up this sounds fun

[The Blades Shadow 444]

I'll try it I guess. I'm not sure how good I'll do, but why not try?

[Blique 211]

Wow, so many people already! The five person minimum is met, so the Freerice Challenge will be properly starting on the 7th! And just so you know, anyone is free to join any time from now to the end of the challenge (12/14/13).

 

The plan is that you can join the group starting on the 6th, then start playing on the 7th. I'll mention everyone participating so you all know of any important announcements.

 

Thank you all for your interest! I hope everyone has fun!

[Troblems 5,617]

I'd like to join, sounds like a good cause and a good time

[Planty 1,053]

This sounds amazing !

 

Sadly I don't have the time to join in (it sounds like so much fun).

[Swick (ded) 436]

I won't be entering the competition, but thank you for showing me this site. I've set a goal for myself to donate 1000 grains per day.

[The Pulse 210]

So I'm assuming we'll need to make accounts?

[Sn0wblind 78]

Good luck to the participants and may the odds be ever in your favor. 

 

On another note I clicked on the Freerice link not knowing what to expect and I got a nice punch in the face with GRE memories. Fun.

[Vinyl Scratch (Filly)™ 936]

Good luck to the participants and may the odds be ever in your favor. 

 

Dat Hunger Games reference... oh, you!

[Blique 211]

I just realized I got 24 and 25 mixed up once again. Happens every year! The prize will be awarded on Christmas, not Christmas Eve. *edits post*

You shall be with us in spirit! I need to make a habit of using it more - I can't believe they have such a nice human anatomy section! I should've used it before taking my anatomy classes, rather than regretting it now, during finals week.

 

 

So I'm assuming we'll need to make accounts?

Ah, yes! I should've mentioned that in the first post...The site's pretty straightforward in making accounts, so it shouldn't be too much trouble. *edits first post*

[Techite Sparkle 354]

Well. Last year in spanish we used the site. So a bit interested. Will try to make it ^-^

I panicked because (for some reason) I thought this was an hour-long event and I was already three minutes late...but we actually have a week, so...yeah.

 

On a side note, in the lead! Bow before my English skills!

[Rough Pathway 157]

I'm not too late to join this am I? I did freerice in the 5th grade, and I'm interested in joining so hopefully I can participate.
