Piazza: questions posted before \(X\) on Sunday - Wednesday will be answered the same day. As of August 27th, 2017 I can only tell you that the expected value of \(X_{\text{first week}}\) is 7pm and that X is likely a supermatingale in the sense \(E[X_{t+1}|X_t]\leq X_t\). For the first week we will let \(X=6pm\) but it is likely to be updated so stay tuned.
