How many times can you subtract 6 from 30?

As many times as you want, but you'll get 24 every time?

Anyone else--before I give the answer or confirm the answer already given by chnsmok?

ANSWER TO PUZZLE

How many times can you subtract 6 from 30?

chnsmok....you were almost there--in fact so close, you got it.

You can subtract 6 from 30 ONLY ONE TIME...because the next time you subtract 6, you are subtracting from 24.
