Three youngsters settle debts with a single coin riddle
Three youths Jimmy Jerry and Joan owe each other cents in a circular debt. Johns father gives Jimmy a coin which he passes to Jerry to settle the accounts. The coins and amounts imply the coin was a nickel and they used it to balance all three debts by passing it among them. The darker path covers about nineteen miles. The riddle asks what coin and method cleared the debts.
