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.
How much time do we have to memorize it?
like every 24 hours.
day 1 you get 5 words
day 2 (24 hours later) you have to recite it, then if correct, you get $1000, then you get another word
day 3 (24 more hours later) you have to recite the 5 words + 1 word from day before, then if correct, you get another word and you get $2000
and so on…
I mean, how long do we have to look at/hear the new word? Is it just one and done? Or would there be time to memorize/internalize it?
I actually didn’t think too much about it, but I envision it this way:
The word(s) appears on a screen in front of you, a recorded voice plays the pronunciation 3 times, 5 seconds apart, the words stays on the screen for a total of 30 seconds. That’s it, no pausing, no repeat, no photographs or recordings allowed, you have to use your brain only. And the words for previous days do not show up again.
As for reciting, once the 24 hours is up, you get a 60 second window to say or type the words then you can edit or confirm like its a computer text box (it has speech to text). For each additional word, you get 12 second bonus. So you have 120 seconds for 10 words, 180 seconds for 15 words, etc…
The next 24 hours starts after the this window ends, so if you get to 25 words, you have 300 seconds to recite it, therefore, the next 24 hours start 5 minutes after your previous 24 hours end, (the 5 minute window being the time you have to recite the 25 words).
That’s reasonable. Hard to say how far I could get. I think I could 14 or so at least. Could probably get further if I can figure out a good way to memorize them.
