snail in a well puzzle
« on: September 04, 2007, 12:22:43 PM »
a snail fell down a well which was 30 foot deep.

each day it climbed up 3 foot and slid back down 2 foot.

how many days would it take for the snail to get out of the well??

It would probably expire well before it got out.

Wouldn't carrying his packed lunch slow him down a bit?
