You claim the end result is one coulomb. Where is the external
connection, to remove charge? The puzzle does not mention one.
"The Law of Conservation of Charge
The net charge of an isolated system remains constant. The only way to
change the net charge of a system is to bring in charge from elsewhere,
or remove charge from the system. "

Only YOU can prevent forest fires. but only "The Bloviator" can
destroy charge or create non-conservation events :-)
