My first question on Puzzling.SE, I don't think it should be too hard.

Take a bowl and add one.
Now add seven.
At last mix it all together and bake it at 270 degrees.

What will you get?

I think the answer is

Infinity

Because the riddle bakes down to

0 (bowl) + 1 + 7 = 8 which, when rotated 270 degrees, looks like $\infty$

  • $\begingroup$ Why do you consider the bowl to be 0? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Jashaszun - I just looked at this puzzle and immediately knew that the bowl was zero. It is the circular shape of the bowl together with 'add one' that made me think of zero plus one. $\endgroup$ Aug 10, 2015 at 22:05
  • $\begingroup$ @chaslyfromUK That was exactly my thought process, too. $\endgroup$ Aug 10, 2015 at 22:19
