   @evan Answered with my gut, didn't think about it too much. I answered 25.

     @dneary really? You didn't develop a metric for fiveness and apply it to each of these numbers?

     @dneary but 10 is 5 + 5! That's just as many fives as 5 x 5! Why does the x operator make it more five than the + operator!?!?

     @evan yes! 25 was the only one that was so 5 it was 5 squared!

     @dneary it's also been mentioned in this thread that 25 is kind of four.

     @evan no - 5+5! is 125, which would have been more 5. 😉
