Don’t be too impressed! I do know that there are many different sugars, but for some reason I’d forgotten that many of the familiar sugars are disaccharides. In other words, if someone had asked me for the chemical formula for sucrose, I probably would have responded (wrongly) C6 H12 O6.
After Robert Baden’s comment became visible to me, I looked up sucrose and found it’s actually C12 H22 O11 (standard double-sugar chemical formula). Ah, how a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing!

Ok, I give up. I don’t get it at all.

It’s a sugar cube.
Who Cares says
Then a hint. Plug in the number plate into a search engine keeping in mind that that it is the letter o and not a zero.

John Morales says
Ah, sugar cube. Very droll.

Yes, I got it right away.
It’s a SUGAR CUBE. Nice.

Oh, god, it’s a sugar cube!

I am really impressed at the number of people who know the chemical formula for sugar!

I originally set the comments assuming once someone’s approved, they always are. Apparently it doesn’t work that way.
