To be clear, I think it's harder to understand because it's nonsensical, 
not because the comparisons are in the wrong order. Is it any harder to 
understand that than

    if(money*money > 10 && money*12 < 100)

??  I'd say the failure here is naming the "money" variable incorrectly 
and not abstracting out the meaning.
   interest_basis = money * money;
   total_interest = money * 12;
   if (10 < interest_basis && total_interest < 100) ...
