In which order are Reduction/Penetration applied?
I just hopped into a game to test this, because nothing beats testing. I was playing
Kayle with
Black Cleaver against a
Garen with 213 armor. After five hits, Garen had 144 armor. (213-45)*.85 = 142.8, while (213*.85)-45 = 136.05. Therefore, flat is applied first.

Just look at the colours and read the summarization. That tells you enough. Good source too.
Personal habitual activites? Utilizing gargantuan idioms to fabricate intelligence.

% reduction
flat reduction
flat penetration
% penetration
This I got once from the wiki and from this site.
But now, the wiki entry changed to:
flat reduction
% reduction
flat penetration
% penetration
Some even say, the reduction, which hits the target first, is applied first.
So, what is now right?
