Default Starter math problem

Hello all

I did some baking last weekend. I fed 250 grams of starter with 250
grams of flour and 250 grams of water and let it work overnight. I
wanted 250 g each for the bread recipe, the starter pot and for
pancakes the next day.

The next morning I found I had barely 650 grams. I had to add 50
grams each of water and flour to have enough for the pancakes.

When I went to school 250+250+250=750, so what happened to the extra
100 grams?
