36 medals, 6 days.
i originally wrote down the equations for the series... but noticed that it gets too complex too quickly, with the recursive equations hardly easy to solve. after staring at it for a while, i realized it's best to work backwards--starting from the last day. once you realize the last day has to be on a day that's a multiple of 6 (because of the 1/7 condition), the rest is basically tedious work and showing that this answer is the unique solution.
