Question

A snail begins climbing from the bottom of a well that is 10 feet deep. Each day it climbs 3 feet, and each night it slips down 2 feet. How many days does it take the snail to reach the top of the well?
In each 24-hour period the snail goes up one foot.

The snail will reach the top of the well in 10 days.
Right.
