Brown rice: cooked vs. uncooked

Ok, Since rice expands so much when it's cooked, when a recipe calls for 3 cups COOKED brown rice, how much uncooked is that? Anyone know? Is this a dumb question? :-\
Not a dumb question. I think it's about 1 cup uncooked, though I'd go ahead and cook 1.5 cups. Then you can snack on what's left over. Mmmmm, rice.
Thanks Tkitty!
Yup, one cup uncooked. Most (most...) grains triple in volume when cooked.
I've always wondered about beans, though.
