A snail woke up, crawled from the mushroom to the spring, and then fell asleep. The journey took six hours. The snail crawled at varying speeds, sometimes stopping. It was observed by several scientists. It is known that:

1) At every moment of the journey, the snail was observed by at least one scientist.
2) Each scientist observed the awake snail for one hour (without interruption) and states that during this time the snail covered exactly one meter.

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