BIDMAS (Brackets, indices, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction).
If you calculate it following that order you get 10.
10 x 0 = 0
0 + 10 = 10

...absolutely amazed that WiL wasn't taught this in school.
And then I saw the replies about BIDMAS and realized I was taught something different in school... MDAS (My Dear Aunt Sally) for the order * / + -
Wheird.

MDAS is fine, but it doesn't tell you about brackets or indeces.
