Midnightmom Posted July 29, 2022 Author Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, euphrasyne said: infinitely. negative numbers exist. I think the answer is much simpler. Remember, it's a riddle not a math problem. Quote How many times can you subtract the number 5 from the number 25? 25-5 20-5 15-5 10-5 5-5 You can only subtract 5 from 25 ONCE, because after that you will be subtracting 5 from 20 and so on........................

Jeepers Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Good riddle. I was thinking 5. I knew that wasn't correct because I suck at math. But I get it. The first 5 is the only one taken from 25. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mt_Rider Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I would have said 5 but knew it would be too simple.... But I'd have never thot of Euphrasyne's answer ....tho it's simple truth too. In a less literal sense. MtRider 1 Quote Link to comment
