You nearly solved it on day 1! You worked out how many metres he managed to jump each day but did not at first see the earliest day that he would be able to clear the 30m well if he jumped up 3m. At day 28 he would be able to jump clear but on day 27 he would not be able to yet.
Well done Oliver, that was tricky - it took me a while to work out why you were wrong with 30 days!! Just needed a bit more thought because on day 28 of course he could jump his 3m and not fall back down because he would have jumped out of the well! Great job!!! Poor frog, he must have been tired!!
Great work Oliver, that was a tricky one - it took me a while to work out why you were wrong with 30 days! It just needed a bit more thinking because of course on day 28 he would be able to jump his 3m and be out of the well! Poor frog, he must have been tired!!

I liked the way you both persevered.
