A regiment had 48 soldiers but only half of them had uniforms. During inspection, they form a 6 × 8 rectangle, and it was just enough to conceal in its interior everyone without a uniform. Later, some new soldiers joined the regiment, but again only half of them had uniforms. During the next inspection, they used a different rectangular formation, again just enough to conceal in its interior everyone without a uniform. How many new soldiers joined the regiment?

On the second day, two medals and $1/7$ of the now remaining medals were awarded; and so on. On the $n^{th}$ and last day, the remaining $n$ medals were awarded. How many days did the contest last, and how many medals were awarded altogether?
