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.

    Of course they are going to long term memory. You have to repeat them the next day, remember?

    I think you're using an unusual concept of the term. I give you 5 words with an offer of $1K if you can repeat them to me tomorrow, so you put some effort into memorizing them for that. You're telling me that's short term memory? I don't think so.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-term_memory

    "For example, short-term memory holds a phone number that has just been recited. The duration of short-term memory (absent rehearsal or active maintenance) is estimated to be on the order of seconds."
