When we need him he's always not here. ;) Anyway a hint would be great, and you'll (a;sdlfkjas;df) get a karma for this difficult riddle when it is being solved :thumbsup:

[a;sdlfkjas;df]

get a karma

that's not necessary

hint:  designate one prisoner as a counter

[TW89]

*sighs*  :dontknow:  I give up.

[GrIzz]

can there be more than one visit per prisoner?

[MickyDfreestyle]

hey no one has posted a riddle in a while so i thought i might post one

how many times can you subtract 5 from 25?

[Mikael]

Just one.

[a;sdlfkjas;df]

can there be more than one visit per prisoner?

of course, i don't think that a puzzle like that that would have a solution

the prisoner can visit (that's misleading.  he doesn't have a choice, but after he is counted, it doesn't make sense for him to do anything in the room; so, he will visit and touch nothing) until the "counter" counts them.  how would the counter "count" them?

[MickyDfreestyle]

Just one.

yh it was an easy one?

[Mikael]

Well, I had two thoughts:
1) As many as you want, since you can go below 0.
2) Just once, because once you've subtracted 5, it will be 20, not 25. Meaning that your next subtraction will be from 20, not 25. :D
