Title: A riddle anyone?

A snail is at the bottom of a 20 feet deep pit. the snail climbs up 5 feet each day, and slides down 4 feet each night. How many days does it take for him to get to the top of the pit?



The answer is 16 days. On the 15th day he is up 19 feet but slides back to 15 feet. on the 16th day he climbs 20 feet, he's at the top! You thought 20 days, didn't you?
