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.

∙ 15y agoThe snail gains one foot each day and night, so at the end of seven days and nights it is seven feet from the bottom. On the eighth day it climbs three feet and finally reaches the top.

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.
