OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (warriorz13):

@kewlgeek555

OpenStudy (warriorz13):

We;; he just gave me a medal so it must be right

OpenStudy (warriorz13):

WELL*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But its not actually do the math maybe?

OpenStudy (kewlgeek555):

Hm...I believe @Warriorz13 is correct. 3 - 2 = 1 foot a day. 30 days. >.>

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wouldnt it be 28 days because i dont think he falls 2 ft back when hes at the top?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8 ====================================== D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its just not how gravity works

OpenStudy (kewlgeek555):

No Isaiah, 1 foot a day he climbs.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So he would reach the top at the 28th day, am i wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No he climbs three feet each day but falls 2 at night so as far as i know 3 is not 1 until 2 is subtracted

OpenStudy (kewlgeek555):

Yes. You are, I believe.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah i thought so.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
