I like to make people think. I recently found a book with riddles in it. Some of them were a little tricky. I will try to post a new one each week, and give the answer to the previous one at that time. When you give your answer, please try to explain what made you think your thought. Ok heres the first one: How many times can you subtract 5 from 25?

Once? Because once you subtract 5 from 25 you get 20. You can't subtract 5 anymore as you would be subtracting it from 20 instead.
