We all know Nasiruddin Hojja. One day, while strolling along a road, he spotted three numbers inscribed on a tree. Overcome by a mischievous impulse, he decided to erase them. But instead of leaving the tree blank, he replaced the erased numbers with the sums of each number taken with each of the other two. This process resulted in three new numbers: $24, 27, 29$. Hojja ended his mischievous spree, claiming that only a truly intelligent person like him could find the second number from here. Who in this boundless sea could unravel the mystery?
