puzzle:- A man fall in to the well
A man is at the bottom of a 30 foot well. Every day he is able to climb up 3 feet, then immediately goes down 2 feet. How many days does he take to get out of the well ??
Answer:
28 days . The man is climbing at one foot per day , except on the 28Th day the man has already reached the top of the well, so he will not slide down the 2 feet.
Here is explanation:-
1st day he climb 3 feet and fall in to the 2 feet so finally he is at 1 feet from the bottom .
2nd day again he climb 3 feet and goes down 2 feet (i.e from 1 feet to 4 feet and finally after goes down he is at 2 feet from the bottom.)
and so on
28 th day he is at 30 feet
