There is a frog at the bottom of a 30ft well - every day he jumps up 3 feet and falls back 2 - how long does it take for him to get out of the well.

I take it this is a trick one????

Many thanks

The obvious answer would be 16 days but I'm sure there is a catch

[kev100]

Sorry strike that I read it wrong 31 days

At the end of 27 days, he has reached 27 ft. The next day he goes up to 30ft.and has reached the top and is out before he can slip back. Therefore - 28 days

smart answer clayhead.  I make it 28 too

30 days to get to the top and maybe another 1 to get out?

[thebigchill]

it must be a trick question-wells are straight up and down and the frog cant stand on thin air can it?
