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.
