Yay, got up to 50! I think I'll stop there. I never thought knowing the difference between bruxism and uxurious would come in useful, :).
Just working it out, though. Rice costs (just typed "corsets" there, Freudian typing, eh?) ten dollars a US hunrdedweight (45kg ish) on the big markets (which I guess the WFP uses). A rice grain weighs about 20mg. So, that's about 0.02c a gram), or 0.00044c a grain, and 0.0044c a question. So in the 1070 grains it took me to get to vocab 50, I "donated" just under 5 cents.
When I was in Denmark I chucked about six quids worth of loose krones in a WWF tub (not worth changing). If I'd donated it to WFP they could have got someone 2.7 million grains of rice, which is a fairly big dictionary worth, :).
