This is difficult to give up on. If I know the thing well enough, I feel obligated to contribute rice. But if I don't I want to guess so I can learn what the word means.

Anyway, I have thus far offered 2160 grains of rice in a sitting.

My highest level was 37. But I'm down to 31 at the moment. I missed some of the early ones, which held me back, I think.

Some of these I really ought to know. Others are challenging to find the specific meaning which they are looking for by way of analogy. It would be helpful to see the terms used in a sentence construct.

But once I got into thinking along the lines that they were looking for, I could have a lot of fun with it. It makes for a nice, and enriching, game. It is, ultimately, challenging not just your vocabulary but your ability to make connections and see analogy of meanings.
