A person falls into a hole that is 30 feet deep.
Every day he/she jumps 3 feet but slides back 2 feet.
How many days does it take for the individual to get out of the hole?
Elliot is correct 28 days. He/She jumps the last 3 feet to freedom.
 
He'd jump out on the 28th day, assuming that he doesn't slide back when he jumps completely out of the hole. That'd just be silly.
 
My math teacher asked us this.. its 28 and well everyone in our class got it wrong
 
Depends how long it takes for someone to come around with a ladder or some rope. ; )
