That's 365/1 (Cause you're the only spiny ) + 8 = 373. 373 - 200 = 173.

No. of calendar days in a non-leap year: 365
No. of spinys: 1 (JJ64 only!)
Letters in goldfish: 8

"Subtract by 200" is a little bit ambiguous. Usually we'd subtract something from 200, or subtract 200 from something. I'll take it to mean "subtract all of that from 200", and get the following answer:

200 - (365/1 + 8) = 200-373 = -173

Yeah, semantics definitely plays a huge role in this game, it's hard to figure out what you mean when you say subtract by 200.

(4,-7), (2,-5), (2,-7), (4,-9)

It's either that or (-4,7), (-2,5), (-2,7), (-4,9) Though it's probably the first.

JJ64, may I mention that my answer came just two minutes after Grey's, and that was only because I had to take the time to explain your somewhat-ambiguously-worded question?

That was fast... My guess is two times an hour, 24 hours per day. So 48 times.

Mind you, I'm sure there's some obvious trick I'm missing here.

2 or -10.

It's absolute value, so we need a way to get -6 as well as positive 6.
