How many times can you subtract 5 from 25?

 

[YawgmothsAvatar]

An infinate number of times-- you just go into the negative after a few.

 

[Lightkeeper]

Not correct.

Once. After that it is twenty minus five.

I think you can do it...not infinitely, but multiple times...I mean, look:

25-5=20
25-5=20
25-5=20
25-5=20
25-5=20
25-5=20
25-5=20
25-5=20
25-5=20
25-5=20

I can subtract 5 from 25 as often as I like =P

Sorry. It's a terribly stupid way of looking at it, I know, but I'm fond of terribly stupid types of logic.
