A frog fell down an abandoned Well which was 15 meters deep. He found it difficult to jump up the coated walls. He started his long jump up the Well at  6am. It took him him 15 minutes to jump three meters because the walls were so slippery. At the end of every 15 minute period he rested for 5 minutes while he sadly slipped down one meter. He continued on at the same rate. At what time did he finally reach the top of the Well? Draw a diagram to show your work
