"Couldn't I just write a computer program to play all day and give a lot of rice that way?
There are two problems with this. First, it overloads our servers so that real people can't play and learn. Second, without real people playing and the resulting company sponsorship, no money would be generated and we could not give any rice at all."
A bot on Freerice will not earn rice. A bot will just clog up the servers.
Also, the money that is used to buy the rice is only raised if a player chooses the correct answer for a question, because the player will see sponsor banners on the bottom of the screen; said sponsors generate the money.
The World Food Programme agreed to distribute 10 grains of rice for every right answer in order to teach vocabulary AND feed impoverished people. All of this is stated in Freerice's FAQ.
To everyone saying this doesn't donate: Actually, it does, because the ads are still appearing on the bottom of the screen, where they should. Freerice clearly states that the sponsors you see on the bottom of the screen generate the money to donate the rice. The thing I don't like about this bot is the fact that it's incorrect the majority of the time...I'm running a greasemonkey script that runs multiplication and does so correctly 100% of the time.
@MrKasey361 Maybe, you are right that advertorial banners are shown in the right place. But, I think that in databases of the servers, the employees can see differences in these lines and rows in the tables and colums. So that your action may be denied and your result will be absolutely wasted !!!

This is a very stupid bot.
What it does is it just presses one button for every answer. That's why sometimes it says its incorrect and sometimes it is correct.
In other words, this is a sucky, nooby, bot.

@MrKasey361 If a lot of people use bots, do you think sponsors will still agree to pay to advertise?

if you use a bot you dont see sponsors so money isnt donated. so no this doesnt work at all.
