RIDDLEII!!

質問

I've been into "RIDDLES" lately. Anyway, I have a riddle.

"How many times can you subtract the number 2 from 50?"

Don't say "25 times" lol

I made the riddle up so don't bother to check the internet. Stupid riddle though lol

Have an answer in English please.

（英訳をお願いしてるのではないです。この質問を英語で答えてください。)

OK, my second attempt.

Answer: As many times as you like.

Reason A: It doesn't matter how many times you subtract 2 from 50, it will always be 48.

Reason B: If you subtract 2 from 50, 26 times, mathematically it will come to -2, which is a valid number. If 27 times, -4 and so forth. So the possibility is infinite.

補足

Thanks a lot for answering mine!
These are completely correct!
I just wanted to say "You can go into negitaves so theres no answer for it."
That's why I said "stupid riddle"

Answer: Once.

Because once you subtract 2 from 50, you will no longer be making the subtraction from 50, but 48, etc.

補足
