How much rice does it take to feed a person for a day? How many grains of rice in a gram?
The composition of UN World Food Program food basket varies from country to country and region to region, depending upon the eating habits of the people WFP feeds.
In countries where rice is a staple part of the diet, World Food Programme provides, on average about 400 grams of rice per person, per day (for families, including children and adults). That is intended for two meals that include other ingredients to ensure a minimum of 2,100 kilocalories per day.
There are about 48 grains of rice in a gram.

400 times 48 = 19200. :-\
Impossible. I’ll just buy a box.
Unless you could “cheat”. 88)

Got 2500 grains of rice.
I didn’t cheat though.
Charlie came to me and asked me for ideas how he can get more people to help him with freerice. So I introduced him to the concept of posting in the forum etc… His eyes lit up! So we setup his account and waited for the weekend to make a post…
Now he presses f5 every 5 seconds to see how many more people have read his post While clicking away on Freerice! He must have got a truck or two worth of rice so far!!!

1st time playing = level 14
2nd time = level 24
3rd time = level 44

Now, what’s wrong with the number 4 here???
Why do I have to get stuck on such a number?
