If you want to help the starving or just like expanding your mind with word games, boy have I got a game for you!

How it works is that you are given a word and you're suposed to pick the synonym for it out of four choices. For every word you get right, ten grains of rice is donated to the UN to distribute to starving countries. And be warned. The game is addicting.

I donated 670 grains of rice, I could have made more. But it is kind of time-consuming for that matter. But I like to help the starving people in Africa. That place is a piece of hell.

Seriously though how do you submit the results. I do not see anywhere to click when you have decided to stop.

i don't think you submit, i think it automatically does it

Yep, according to the FAQ, it automatically does it, so you can stop playing any time you like... Except, you know, that it is addictive
Actually, it is a good idea to put such a thing with an involving activity so that you will keep donating.
EDIT: Imagine the good that could have been done if they had put this inside something like World of Warcraft
