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.
