Just saw this on NBC: some guy started a vocab website and, if you go there and answer multiple choice synonym questions, you'll donate 20 grains of rice per correct answer. There's no advertising, cost, or anything. Just learn and help starving kids. I've been on 5 minutes and have donated over 1000 grains of rice. It's simple. Put a link to it in your sig.

Why not just give the rice? Why is there a catch?

The rice is so cheap, and since every now and then there's an advirtisement, the sponsors pay it.

Most websites earn money from sponsors based on how often the website is visited...For the 20 grains of rice you win on each vocab question, the advertiser probably donates less than 1 cent...I kind of trust it.

The whole site works on the theory:
The ad's keep them alive, since there will be a lot of people donating rice, they might look at the ads, click them, etc. So the sponser's pay a certain amount, and it usually gets enough money to cover the rice buying process. |
