Modular arithmetic is FUN!

So if you need a break from math, I highly suggest looking up and playing with modular arithmetic, also known as clock arithmetic.

I just had to write a paper about it and taught my kids and we all had a ball. Just thought I'd share with y'all also :)

Have fun!

I remember now. I used this when I was a software engineer. And I had it in my computer math class in college. How depressing to have forgotten so much.
