A snail woke up, crawled from a mushroom to a spring, and fell asleep. The journey took six hours. The snail crawled at varying speeds and stopped occasionally. Several scientists observed the snail. It is known that:

1) At each moment of the journey, the snail was observed by at least one scientist.
2) Each scientist observed the awake snail for one continuous hour and reported that during that time, the snail crawled exactly one meter.

What is the maximum possible distance from the mushroom to the spring?
