I did it for a while yesterday, while I was running some things through my scanner. I was usually fluctuating between 38 and 41. Most of the words I figured out by looking for root words--or by process of elimination and whatnot. It was very fun, though. I think I'll keep going back to that site when I'm bored. (And thanks for posting it!)

It does make you wonder what their plan is for "counting" the rice. Hopefully they've just figured out that a certain number of ounces equals a certain number of grains. And I suppose, chances are, none of the recipients of any donated rice are going to count the grains to make sure they're getting shorted.

The process of elimination is indeed a fine weapon in the battle for rice. If you asked me to define the words without options to guess from, my score would plummet to the 20s.

I'm a little bummed about rice since hearing that it produces a lot of methane. Sometimes having information is such a sad, sad thing.
