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!!!

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