I borrowed one to give the other ones away, and then I gave my borrowed one back again. | ||

Keys? You borrowed a key to unlock the place where the spare keys are stored? A pen? You had to borrow a pen to sign for your box(es) of pens? Is this solid item you borrowed... Bigger than a breadbox? Smaller than grain of sand? Written? Man-made? Natural? | ||

Bigger than a breadbox? Smaller than grain of sand? Written? Man-made? Natural? All of these are chasing down the rong road! The puzzle is to find out why I borrow one. | ||

Are we dealing with ordinary subtraction? I.e. Borrowing one from the next column over in order to subtract a larger number from a smaller number? | ||

Is this like the camel problem? Trying to give 1/2 the camels to the eldest son, 1/3 to the middle son, and 1/9 to the youngest when you only have 17 camels? Borrow 1 camel, and suddenly the math is easy (the sons together only get 17 camels between them and you hand back the first camel you borrowed). | ||
