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.

      Not as tough as it seems. People routinely memorize much more in shorter periods. Try learning the complete Kanji (Asian Pictograms) or heiroglyphics. It’s not inconceivable to memorize 10,000 random words. Think of how many songs you can recite the lyrics to. I learned Billy Joel’s, “We Didn’t Start the Fire” in a day. That’s pretty much what this challenge is about - a random list of words.
