Cowboy, John, took $ 25 from his mother and $ 25 from his father ...
Balance = $ 50
---------------------------------------------
Then, John went to the tavern, and drank 45 dollars ..
Balance = 5 dollars
---------------------------------------------
Then, drunk John went home ... He met his girlfriend Mary, who asked him to borrow $ 3
Balance = 2 dollars
--------------------------------------------------
John came home and returned the Mother - 1 dollar and the Father - 1 dollar ...
Consequently...
John must return his mother 24 dollars and his father 24 dollars
Another $ 3 he will return to Mary ...
==============================================
Now we consider the financial balance:
= 24 + 24 + 3 = 51 dollars ...
---------------------
But, John took only $ 50 !!!!
================================
Where did the "extra 1 dollar" come from?
