So, lately I've been playing the Free Rice vocabulary game again as an occasional brain candy sort of thing(and can NOT get beyond point score level 52 out of 60 -- have they made it harder? Have I gotten dumber?), and noticed for the first time that there was a link that said "Change Subjects" in the bar above the game box. Clicking the link gets a page of other multiple choice matching games you can play besides obscure English vocabulary -- Geography, Math, Chemical Symbols, Languages, and ... Art!

I don't know how often one is likely to mistake a Winslow Homer painting for one by Hiroshige or Peter Breugel the Elder, but I'm having fun with it. Next, chemical symbols!
