Hideaway and "X" costs

Lemme read the hideaway ability on Mosswort Bridge: "This land comes into play tapped. When it does, look at the top four cards of you library, remove one from the game face down, the put the rest on the bottom of your library."

":manag::symtap: You may play the removed card without paying its mana cost if creatures you control have total power 10 or greater."

Does this mean i could, for example, play a 1,000,000 pointFireball for free?

I came across a combo in my deck where i have Mosswort Bridge and Stream of Life, does this mean i could hypethetically gain 1 googol life? (googol is 10 to the power of 100, which is an insanely huge number)

Thx for all help :)

This is one of the times where just because you can doesn't necessarily mean you should, or would want to. Free on a :manax: spell means :manax:=:mana0:. That's why you usually don't want to run an X-cost spell in a cascade deck.
