If I create a watcher and I have a condition that looks like this:

```
"condition": {
    "script": {
      "source": "return 5 / 100 * 100 > 5",
      "lang": "painless"
    }
  }

```

it returns false (0).

while when I have a condition like this:

```
 "condition": {
     "script": {
        "source": "return 5 * 100 > 5",
        "lang": "painless"
      }
  }

```

it returns true (500).

Am I allowed to use multiple conditions in a source field?
