Either you don't actually know algebra and solve it left-to-right, in which case you get (230-220) x 0.5 = 10 x 0.5 = 5, or you know algebra and order of operations, in which case you get 230 - (220 x 0.5) = 230 - 110 = 120 = "5!"

this is sinister because your brain reads the exclamation point as punctuation instead of math notation
You're Quinner
that is, indeed, the trick
