Oz's Question of the day #68(13/8/09)

[OZXJR]

A snail is at the bottom of a well and wants to get out.
He manages to crawl up the wall 3 feet each day, but at night he must rest
( after all that work during the day ) and so he slips back down 2 feet.
If the well is 30 feet deep, How long will it take him to get out?

PM answers please.

Since I'm not eligible for this on, I'll just send my answer via snail mail.

Answer:28 days.....the snail averages 1 foot each day, so after 27 days he has reached 27 feet. On the 28th day he crawls up 3 feet during the day, but since he is now at 30 feet and out of the well he no longer slips back 2 feet.
