"Here is a very special trophy in which to show our gratitude." Is it correct? I have finished a computer course of learning Spanish for English speakers on Duolingo. And at the end of it among the congratulations was such a phrase: "So in honor of you, here is a very special trophy in which to show our gratitude." It seems to me very strange. Is it really the structure: "...in which to show our graduate" grammatically correct? I can't understand the grammatic rule with which that phrase was built. It seems like a google translate or something. I would say something like: "which shows our gratitude." or "(in wich, by which, with wich... I do not know which one is more correct) we want to show our graduated."

A puzzle. Where the extra one ruble came from? Well I have a puzzle for you. A boy borrowed 50 rubles from his parents: 25 from each. The boy went to a store and bought something for 45 rubles. So now he had 5 rubles. On the way home he met his friend and loan him 3 rubles. At home he returned 2 rubles to his parents: 1 ruble for each. So it had to return them 48 rubles. And then his friend came and return him 3 rubles. So 48 plus 3 is 51 rubles. The question is where the extra 1 ruble came from?
