How many times can you subtract the number 5 from 25?,mike 176

Exactly one time!!!
...then the '5' turned to '0'...

[strike]Only once...After that, it's no longer 25.[/strike]

Interesting....I just tried to delete this post but wasn't allowed (my post here, not the thread).

Oh well, I'll go for the edit instead.

Okay!!! If this is not a joking question then it's a joke that we all thought it was a joke...

If it is only a question of mathematics then you can substract the 5 from 25 so often you want to. Hey, there ARE negativ numbers!!!

yep, once,mike

Yesterday I subtracted 5 from 25 and got 20.
Today I subtracted 5 from 25 and got 20.
That's two times so far!
