Oh my god, even a computer can do this.
How can over half of the people here not know thats it's 26?

I used fancy megamath to calculate this using Derive.
I made it answer with 15000 decimals.
26.00000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000 0 and so on

are you implying computers cannot do basic math
because they can

and because they forget to do the order of operations or don't notice the subtraction sign

One of the twos is being subtracted
Not all of those signs are plusses
I knew that, I miscounted the twos silly me.
I also realized it was +2*0 rather than +2 (*0)

26, according to order of operations we multiply first, so a positive 2 is removed, leaving 28-2, answer being 26.

I picked 30 then redid it and realized I did it wrong.

Very good point. I didn't think of that before.
