问题 While working on a case Dr Watson accidentally fell down a 30ft dry wishing well. Sherlock Holmes lowered him down a rope.
"Can you climb up?" shouted Holmes.
" I’ll be out before you know it. " came Watson’ s reply.
But the climb wasn’t as easy as Watson had first imagined. Each hour he managed to climb 3 ft—but slipped back 2ft.

How long did it take Watson to get out?
选项
答案 28 hours
解析 他一小时爬3ft，倒退2ft，就相当于一小时爬1ft，当他爬了27小时后，爬了27ft，那么剩下的3ft正好还需要一个小时，故共需28小时。
