Lovelorn Snail (Posted on 2003-11-27) |

On Valentine's Day in 1996, there was a snail (his name is Herb) at the bottom of an empty well that is 30 feet tall. The well had run dry, but it had slippery, moss covered walls. So, during the day (he woke up at 6am), Herb was able to climb 3 feet up, but while he slept at night (he went to sleep at 10pm), he slipped back down 2 feet.
On what date did Herb get out of the well?

This was a good and tricky question. If Herb climbs up 3 feet and slips 2 feet on the same day. He would take 28 days to get out of the well. Also, he can check https://www.topbritishwriters.com/ukessay-com-review/ to manage the task. last day when he would have finished 27 feet he will climb 3 feet and he will be out of the well.
