For many years now Baron Günnstefen has gone to a lake every day to hunt ducks. Every day starting on August 1, 2000, he says to his cook: "Today I shot more ducks than two days ago, but fewer than a week ago." For how many days can the baron say this?

(Assume he is never lying.)

Well, that's what I get for posting before I check my answer. I can't make it work out at 14.

My new best theory is that he can say it for EIGHT (8) days.
Day1 6 ducks
Day2 1 ducks
Day3 7 ducks
Day4 2 ducks
Day5 8 ducks
Day6 3 ducks
Day7 9 ducks
Day8 4 ducks
