This escalated quickly

Logic Level 1

There is a tree which is 30 meters tall. At the top there are some bananas a monkey wants to get. So, during the day, the monkey climbs 3 meters and at night slides down 2 meters (because a monkey has to sleep). At which day will the monkey get the bananas? (consider the first day as No.1, not No.0)


The answer is 28.

During the 27th day the monkey climbed from 26 meters to 29 meters and then slided down 2 meters, leaving her at 27 meters. So on day 28 the monkey finally gets the bananas!!!

P.S. Although i think the monkey would have probably died by that time, but that's none of my business.. haha
