This is a normal post it's to do with order of operations
BIDMAS (Brackets, indices, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction).

If you calculate it following that order you get 10.
10 x 0 = 0
0 + 10 = 10

This is a normal post I was...
...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.

This is a normal post must be different all over the place
and depending on when you learnt it, I guess.

This is a normal post BIDMAS for me, too.
MDAS is fine, but it doesn't tell you about brackets or indeces.
