A snail is at the bottom of a 30-foot deep well. On Day 1, it climbs up 5 feet, but slides down 2 feet at night. On Day 2, it climbs up 4 feet, but slides down 2 feet at night. On Day 3, it climbs up 3 feet, but slides down 2 feet at night. On Day 4, the pattern resets, and it climbs 5 feet again (sliding down 2), followed by 4 feet on Day 5, and 3 feet on Day 6, and so on. On which day will the snail finally reach the top of the well?
The 15th day
