16 days is the correct answer. The snail can go 5 feet each day... and slides back 4 each night. He will get to the 19th foot on the 15th DAY but will slide back to the 15 foot mark on the 15th NIGHT. He will climb 5 feet on the 16th day, reaching the 20 foot mark.

20 Days sounds like the obvious answer 16 days is the correct answer. The snail can go 5 feet each day... and slides back 4 each night. He will get to the 19th foot on the 15th DAY but will slide back to the 15 foot mark on the 15th NIGHT. He will climb 5 feet on the 16th day, reaching the 20 foot mark.

It depends how you think it. Perry the Platypus is a good fighter, but if Gary the Snail climbs on his back and won't get off......
Can a squirrel move backwards?
One trick is to place food where you want the snail to go. I put algae tabs and plant matter above the water line to entice them to climb.
A snail starts at the bottom of a well 10 feet deep and crawls 3 feet each day each night however the poor thing slips back 2 feet how long will it take the snail to reach the top of the well?
He would touch the bottom in nine days. It's like he really only moves up a foot a day, but on the ninth day he will move from the eighth foot to the tenth, but if he has to go back again, then it would take him ten days.
Can a snail go in your nose at night?
No, that is very unlikely.
A snail is at the bottom of a well 30 feet deep it crawls up 3 feet each day but at night it slips down 2 feet how long does it take for the snail to creep out of the well?
Answer in my opinion 29 days. At the beginning of the 28th day the snail is 27 feet up. The snail crawls up 3 feet and is now at the top of the well but not out. At the beginning of the 29th day, the nail is 28 feet up. He now crawls up 3 feet and is out. This is some question about the interpretation of the problem. At the end of the 28th day, the snail is at top and would crawl out, I think.
