I had a go at this yesterday after reading about it on Paul Phillip's blog.

I'm sure they make some of the words up. I got up to 43.

I try to propogate the use of these words every day, elucidating where necessary.

How many attempts are you allowed?!!

Tried once, got 39. A real bad beat, I thought 'moppet' meant a furry puppet, it's actually a child. Oh well. Must be a downswing.

50Kg sack = approx 1.8 million grains.

But the amount of people doing this all add up - it's been running in the USA for a while - doing a search I found this:

After a few minutes of research, I leaned that a cup of rice contains just over 7000 grains (about 7250). Because rice expands to three times its original size when it is cooked, this would equal three cups. A bowl of rice is probably equal to 1.5 cups (if you think its more that that, its probably because you live in America, where the portion sizes are astronomical). According to freerice.com, there have been 23,202,482,290 grains of rice donated as of 3/19/2008. So, about 6,400,684.8 bowls of rice have been donated thus far. That is enough to feed one bowl of rice to about a quarter of Nepal's total population.

BTW Tighty I scraped up to Level 47
