A snail crawls up a pillar 7-yard tall. Every day she crawls up 3 yards, and every night she slides down 2 yards.
How many days will it take for the snail to reach the top of the pillar?
Explanations
It will take exactly 5 days for the snail to reach the top of the pillar. Yes, it will slide down 2 yards afterwards, but the first moment will be exactly in 5 days as is shown in the diagram.
