All right, so I did a search, and I couldn't find this one, so here goes....
A monkey is at the bottom of a 100 foot well . The walls are covered with mud and slime, making it very difficult to climb, or in the monkey's case, jump, to the top. The monkey is able to jump exactly 5 feet up the walls and still hang on, but he slides down 3 feet every time he preps for another jump. Given this, how many jumps will it take for the monkey to get to the very top and escape the well?
