A snail woke up, crawled from a mushroom to a spring, and fell asleep. The journey took six hours. The snail crawled sometimes faster, sometimes slower, and stopped at times. During this journey, several scientists observed the snail. It is known that:

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

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