A puzzle is a game or problem that challenges a person's intellect or knowledge. The puzzle we are discussing here is about a man who fell into a 50-meter deep well. The puzzle question is how many days would it take for him to come out of the well if he climbs 4 meters up and slips 3 meters down in one day?
To solve this puzzle, we need to understand that on the first day, the man climbs 4 meters up and slips 3 meters down, which means he only climbs 1 meter up totally. On the second day, he climbs another 1 meter up, so the total distance climbed is 2 meters till the second day. Therefore, the man climbs 1 meter every day.
Now, let's do some calculations. As per the above pattern, on the 46th day, he must have climbed 46 meters. So on the 47th day, he climbs full (46 + 4) 50 meters and after that, he will not slip as he is already out of the well. Therefore, the answer to the puzzle is 47 days.
