If you remember it wrong, its over. (you keep the money you got and that’s it)
No notes, digital physical or otherwise. You’re only allowed to use your brain.
Starts with 5 words, totally random, then next day it 6 words (the original words from the previous day is kept the same, but adding one new word). Day one prize is $1000, day 2 prize is $2000… (so you have $3000 if you got the first 2 days correct) and so on…

How much do you think you can get?
I think I max out at like 12 words, then I’d just mess it up.
I’m a biologist, undergrad was tons of memorizing lists of vaguely related words. Since it’s an additive list and it’s literally the only thing I’d have to do, 100+ at least. 200+ if it forms any sort of coherent sentence. Every day, all I’d be doing is practicing the previous list and learning one new word.
Edit: for giggles, I calculated how much you’d earn at 100 days, then 200. The formula is T= 1000(n(n+1))/2 for anyone who is curious.
At 100 days, you’d have $5,050,000.
At 200, $20,100,000.
