Bridal Quiz Deadline

So putting aside the issues with the Birdmen King… Did Kouichi make the deadline?

I re-read the last few chapters, but I can’t figure out if Kouichi still has a day left, or is it the final hours of the quiz.

Because if Kouichi still has a day left, there’s not going to be much issues of his qualifications. But on the other hand, if it’s in the final hours, I can guess the people who were trying to sabotage the quiz are going to argue that Kouichi hatched it too late - as it was probably after the date ticked over.
