Yeah, 20.
I put it in the category of simple, but not easy.
The rules are pretty straightforward, but is it reasonable to expect anybody who isn't constantly using them to remember them? I don't think so.
And even if you do remember them, seeing the expression as long chain forces you to parse it out first, which is never easy to do without a scratchpad. And it's always easy to make little mistakes while doing it anyway.
If I'm writing a spreadsheet cell or a line of code I tend to throw in the parenthesis even though they aren't needed, just to reduce the chances of an error on my part.
