Three participants – Akhil, Bimal and Chatur participate in a random draw competition for five days. Every day, each
participant randomly picks up a ball numbered between 1 and 9. The number on the ball determines his score on that day. The
total score of a participant is the sum of his scores attained in the five days. The total score of a day is the sum of participants'
scores on that day. The 2-day average on a day, except on Day 1, is the average of the total scores of that day and of the
previous day. For example, if the total scores of Day 1 and Day 2 are 25 and 20, then the 2-day average on Day 2 is calculated
as 22.5. Table 1 gives the 2-day averages for Days 2 through 5.

Table 1: 2-day averages for Days 2 through 5

Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4
