Snails puzzle ?
I watched a convoy of 10 identical snails cross a path which took 50 mins the snails travelled nose to tail in single file and the path could accomodate 8 snails at any one time .
The snails travelled at the same speed and each snail was on the path for exactly the same amount of time.
For how long was each snail on the path from the instant it touched the path to the instant its tail left the path.
