Let $T$ be a transformation from $I=[0,1)$ onto itself and let $Q_n(x)$ be the subinterval $[i/2^n,(i+1)/2^n)$, $0 \leq i < 2^n$ containing $x$. Define $K_n (x) =$min{$j\geq 1:T^j (x)\in Q_n(x)$} and $K_n(x,y) =$min{$j\geq 1:T^{j-1} (y) \in Q_n(x)$}. For various transformations defined on $I$, we show that

$\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{\log K_n(x)}{n}=1 \quad$and$\quad \lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{\log K_n(x,y)}{n}=1 \quad$a.e.
