Free Knowledge, Free Rice


We here at the ASC love things that a) make you smarter and b) help people out at the same time. It was rebrought to our attention recently that there is a website that does both of these things AT THE SAME TIME.

Yes, it makes you smarter AND helps people out.

www.freerice.com

On Free Rice, you can answer questions related to numerous topics, ranging from languages to math to art history and more, and, for every correct answer, 10 grains of rice are donated to those in need. Ten grains doesn't sound like much, but spend 15 minutes answering questions and 10 grains quickly turns into 1,000 or 2,000 or 5,000. It adds up. It adds up even more, when you consider how many people could do such an easy thing at the same time.

Giving rice while getting smarter? The phrase that comes to mind is "win-win."

So check it out.  Learn a little, or refresh your mind a little and help people out in the process.



Stay curious,

Team ASC
