Yep! Confirm that you see this in time, and I'll post at 1:30. If not will set a time a few minutes later.

Cool, maybe 1:35? Lunch took longer to make than I thought.

Corban Yaxley! Go to www.freerice.comIf asked for your birthdate, ignore this (just click 'okay' to today's date). Click the log-in button at the top-right of your screen. Enter these details: Username: PhoenixORGfinalfour Password: riceforimmunityf4 Then begin playing the game! You'll be given a word and asked to identify its meaning from among four options. The words will ramp up in difficulty as you keep playing. Every question you answer correctly sponsors 10 grains of rice for the United Nations World Food Programme, to support its work saving and changing lives around the world. We'll also be making a corresponding donation to Fandom Forward. Simply keep playing for an hour and earn as much rice as you can. Whoever earns the most rice over this time will win Individual Immunity! We have set up your account as a 'student' to our 'teacher' and we will be able to monitor your progress. Do not attempt to fiddle with any of the account/site settings or you will be disqualified from the Challenge (though the money you raise will still make a very real difference). Good luck!

(Just noticed we weren't converting times right. So to be clear: you have exactly an hour, until 3:35:04 board time.)

And time's up! You finished with 4,160 grains of rice.
Do feel free to keep playing if you want to raise more money, but we'll lock that in as your score for the Challenge.

That was very fun, and a really good idea Peter. (I'm probably biased because I do really enjoy word games and have a good vocabulary.)
I think I did well, but if everyone does better than me, that's still over 300 bowls of rice, and that's a very worthy cause.
I was going to bitch about putting an hour long challenge during a week day but seeing what it was, I've relented. I think I would have been tempted, in your shoes, to have this be one of the earliest challenges but cut the time down? If we did it at 16 for 30 minutes, you wind up with double the amount. But having it near the end, when there are very few folks left and it's not likely we need to talk to each other constantly, was a good choice gamewise.

Yeah, I figured. Glad you enjoyed it! We've actually been advertising this Challenge to everyone out of the game since it began, and they're currently competing to raise as much as they can over the full 23-hour period that that Challenge runs. Hence telling you to play more if you want, every few seconds you can spare before the deadline adds to our overall total ![:<3](http://i.imgur.com/L3NpwEv.gif)

I've really got to get back to work (and also I need to finish my diary entry for the day) but I might play some more later this evening.
