Seem's fun. But if the more questions you answer the more rice gets donated, then the people at FreeRice must be holding back rice from people who need it. And that's just plane mean. I mean if there is a person who answers no questions correctly then some people go with out food for a day or so. I think that is mean.

The UN World Food Program (WFP) works around the globe and FreeRice donations are made with no restrictions. This freedom of use allows WFP to apply the donations to countries that need it most, often those that don’t make the headlines in the news, yet where chronic hunger continues unchecked. Often WFP is able to purchase the rice in the very countries where the beneficiaries are located, cutting down on the transport time to reach the hungry and helping to stimulate local economies at the same time.
Here are some examples of where FreeRice rice has been distributed:
In Bangladesh, to feed 27,000 refugees from Myanmar for two weeks. In Cambodia, to provide take-home rations of four kilograms of rice for two months to 13,500 pregnant and nursing women.
In Uganda, to feed 66,000 school children for a week.
In Nepal, to feed over 108,000 Bhutanese refugees for three days.
In Bhutan, to feed 41,000 children for 8 days.
In Myanmar, to feed 750,000 cyclone affected people for 3 days.
