Can you simplify the algebraic multiplication shown above?
This is a quiz to test your reasoning powers. It's not something I need for homework.
Have fun.

it is 0 since you get x-x in the product.

Answer will be 0.
Because as multipy (x-a) (x-b) (x-c) ... (x-z) we will come across (x-x) which will be equal to zero.
And any number multiplied by 0 will always give 0 as the product.

I'd recommend using symbolic algebraic manipulation software for solving this sort of problem. If that is not available I think that the Pascal's triangle method may work.

x-x=0. So the product is 0

Don't agree. The reasoning for the answer is semantical, not mathematical.
The x on the left of each binomial is a variable. Each letter on the right of each binomial is a constant. The fact that one term looks like "x - x" doesn't mean it evaluates to zero.

looks like the expression is already factored into irreducible factors ....
x = a,b,c ... z
(the "zero's" of the expression )
"roots"
"answers"
