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?

Fun fact, when I was in middle school in China (not sure if they do it anymore) we were expected to memorize whole ancient Chinese poems and literary critiques written by the likes of Lu Xun… with like a month each. They actually appear on the exams and we were supposed to just know the entire poems cover to cover. Which is about the difficulty of this challenge with way less rewards

💀 They made me recite a random story from those student handbooks/textbooks. (I forgot whatbit was by now)

And they start teaching the 9x9 time table, and we had to memorize it. I still have it deeply engrained in memory. Every times I do multiplication, that song/poem thing gets conjured and its somehow always in mandarin, I can never recite it in Cantonese (because they teach it in mandain of course).

But that took a whole school year I think, one word a day would be tough, I’ve forgotten a master password once.
