How awesome!
Thanks for sharing Teresa!  I love watching the amount of rice in the basket increase. It makes me smile. |

I got 160 before stopping.
I wasn't sure on a couple, so I cheated and used Dictionary.com (although I had guessed correctly). A couple I had no clue on and took a WAG (got half of those correct). Quote:

Why don't they just donate some rice? The whole "tying donations to some external act" thing never quite made sense to me.

Publicity.
People don't generally pay attention to causes unless they're already interested in them. This kind of a viral game gets people who otherwise are just bored at work/school/wherever into thinking about world hunger while thinking they're smart for knowing vocabulary terms. Plus, the names at the bottom are getting a little advertising bump by being at the bottom.

Ditto on Erica's comment.
I doubt that their actual donations are directly tied to the numbers generated from their little game.
