Ok, here's something for you to think about for the day...
There is this monkey trapped in a 30 foot well, once a day he jumps up 3 feet and slides back 2 feet, how many days does it take for the monkey to be out of the well?
I am off to work, and I'll check back later....good luck!frustrated

I was thinking 30 as well...since you're really only moving up one foot at a time...now should we add one more for him to be completely out and falling off? lol....

The well is empty, or he would just float to the top...Tall, irrelevant...he jumps up 3 feet, and slides back 2 feet..
and don't hurt yourself ...

My answer is 28 days, because on the 28th day he jumps 3 feet (making it 31 feet- 1 foot pass the edge of the well)

Actually I revise my answer to the 29th day...because at the beginning of the 28th day the monkey is at 27 feet then jumps three bring him to 30 and goes back down to 28 feet...on the 29th day he starts at 28 feet and then jumps three feet to 31 feet now being out of the well. So my answer is the 29th day...mumbling
