Order of operations get people all the time.
25 is the correct answer, 70 is the answer you'll get from people who don't believe in the order of operation, and 17 is the answer you'll get from people who don't know the difference between + and x.
ETA: frick me with the double mugs. Oh well, the answer is 15 then.

5 + (2x10)

Multiply then Divide then Add then Subtract
ETA - the single mug screwed me too.
5 + (1 x 10) = 15

I was confident the order of operations would be the kicker. Never took the time to realize there were 4 mugs in the 3rd equation.
