I'd like to see some code that almost adds 11.Preferrably by introducing floating point errors.

What about...?

final float THIRTY_FIVE = 34.56; x += THIRTY_FIVE / Math.PI

I think I have a solution that hasn't been proposed yet! It's an extension of the Monte Carlo Method.

        private int increment(int number, int value)
        {
            var rand = new Random();
            while (true)
            {
                var cur = rand.Next(int.MinValue, int.MaxValue);
                if (cur == number + value)
                    return cur;
            }
        }
