At the end of the first day, he has gained 1 foot above the bottom. 7 ft to go.
At the end of the second day, he has gained another foot, for a total of 2 ft above the bottom. 6 ft to go.
At the end of the third day, he has gained another foot, for a total of 3 ft above the bottom. 5 ft to go.
At the end of the fourth day, he has gained another foot, for a total of 4 ft above the bottom. 4 ft to go.
At the end of the fifth day, he has gained another foot, for a total of 5 ft above the bottom. 3 ft to go.
During the sixth day, he crawls up 3 ft and collapses, exhausted, onto the ground at the lip of the pit.

A snail climbs up the wall 20 feet high Each day it climb 5 feet but at night it slips backward 4 feet How many day it take for the snail to get to the top of the wall?
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.

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.
