12 days.

Takes him 11 days to net 11 inches.  On the 12th day, he advances 3 inches and gets out before falling back.

Yes, it's final:  12.  (11 days would only get the worm to the top of the hole but not over).

doolittle enjoys this chatter about worms...however, this worm would be very ill. most worms would make it out in 7-40 minutes, depending on whether they napped.

There are different answers for different size/length  worms.

It would take a one inch long worm 12 days to be out of the hole.

A two inch long worm will be half out of the hole at the end of 12th day. It would take this worm another 3rd of the 13th day to be completely out.

A three inch long worm will have his 1st 3rd out of the hole at the end of 12th day. Assuming it can hold on into this position it would take this worm 2/3 of the 13th day to be out of the hole.

And so on...
