I don't understand what all the confusion is about. It is simple math.

36-10 = 26 (we've established that letters can represent numbers)
3+3x3 = 12 (you have to multiply first)
5x5x0 = 0 (anything x0 = 0!)
20-15= 5

Add them up. 26+12+0+5 = 43!!!

It doesn't say you should add the results, it says you should add the numbers.

Yesss... Add WHAT numbers?

I saw each line in the post as a number, that is, as if they were enclosed in parenhesis.

It is ambiguous, to say the least.

Edit:
P.S.: see my previous post. My answer is 43, here and in Mongolia.

To be or not to be, that is THE question.
