You play a game where you have to memorize a random passphrase and recite it the next day for $1000, game repeats each day but with +1word and +$1000 prize; How many days can you continue this? (sh.itjust.works)

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...

(All currency in USD at current exchange rate)

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.
