Early one Monday, four snails - Aman, Bubby, Charu and Devi, set off together down the garden path. Aman and Bubby kept the same steady pace, slithering only 8 meters by the time Charu and Devi had already reached the azalea.
Charu was winded and have to stop for an hour to rest. Although Devi was tired, too, she pressed on, but reduced her pace to be the same as Aman's and Bubby's.
Charu started off again just as Aman and Bubbly got even with her. She raced of at her original pace. Aman promptly speed up to the same speed as Charu and kept even with her. Bubbly just kept going at her original pace.
When Aman reached end of the path, she was 1 meter ahead of Bubbly, but she was a half hour late than Devi was.
How many meter long was the path?
