Frog riddle. NO CHEATING!?

A frog fell into a hole that was 14 1/2 feet deep. He could jump 3 feet, but he slid back a foot each time he jumped. How many jumps does it take him to get out of the hole?
You need to explain your answer or else I will think you cheated.
Jacob Black lover Got it right.. It's 7.

7. The frog advances 2 feet with each jump, but he jumps 3 feet, so the 7th jump, starting at 12 feet, brings him to 15 feet, which takes him out of the hole.
