You can put this solution on YOUR website! The hole is 4*100 = 400 cm's in length
A) 15*4 = 60 cm is the length of the snake
B) after the 15 seconds the head of the snake is 340cm from the exit
so 340/4 seconds for the head of the snake to reach the exit and
another 15 seconds to exit
340/4 + 15 = 85 + 15 = 100 seconds to exit
