since you can use adjectives to modify other adjectives, the order clarifies what each adjective is referring to.

e.g a brown brick wall is a wall that is brown colored and made of bricks. a brick brown wall is a wall that brick brown colored and of indeterminate material.

While most of these are actually not a problem, for example the big is still unambiguous, it still sounds wrong because you expect another adjective that the big is modifying, not a noun.

remember what 1+2x3 actually MEANS - multiplication is a shorthand for multiple additions, and further up pemdas exponents are multiple multiplications; so you simplify back down the line.

1+2x3^3=1+2x(3x3x3)=1+((3+3+3)+(3+3+3)+(3+3+3))+((3+3+3)+(3+3+3)+(3+3+3))=55

The other reason is the practical considerations - if you have 5 boxes of a dozen eggs and 2 extra eggs, you have 5x12+2 eggs; the standard case for multiplication will be rows + columns + leftovers, and there are FAR fewer cases where you care adding more rows or columns instead of adding in the leftovers, so it's easier to note the special times when you are adding more columns than the times when you are adding the leftovers.

>and to re-grow when cut back.

it doesn't actually do that, you are just experiencing hair life-cycle.

hair grows out to x length, and then stays that long for however long (head hair is ~2 years, body hair can be as short as two weeks), then the follicle "dies", the hair falls off the follicle, and then the follicle regrows itself and does it all again. If you cut a hair in half it will be half as long for the rest of the life cycle - this is why regrowing cut head hair takes 2+ years to get to full length (although head hair is a bit special because it doesn't have a cap length), but e.g. chest or leg hair can recover in a month or two, and will APPEAR to recover even faster, because half your hair was at the end of the its cycle when it got shaved.

sounds like they can sense living organisms so they have a way to detect bacteria, greatly easing the process.

Man found dead in a panic room. it appears he was killed by an explosive that originated inside his body, it is unclear if it was in his GI tract or implanted subdermally.

The man was originally a missing persons report, filed when he did not attend a scheduled meeting with the board of directors for his company (manufacture and distribution of paper goods); prior to that meeting it appears the man had cleared his schedule for a two-week period, and died about halfway through that period.

the panic room is an effective faraday cage, no sign of forced entry, food stores and waste products indicate he had been locked in the room for a little more than a week at the time of his death, consistent with him entering the room just after his last scheduled meeting.

There are multiple notebooks in the room that it appears he was writing in during his time in his room. They have been rendered mostly unreadable by the blood splatter, and what is legible is filled with some form of cipher or code. Our linguists have had no success as this time.
