Wherever you like. Just make sure you tell cron the full pathname to the
script = "./day1" is unlikely to work, because that means "the day1 script
in the current directory", and your current directory might not be what
you want it to be...

Check root's email. cron can mail anyone you tell it to, but if you
haven't specified someone (and I doubt that you have), root tends to get
the reports.
