Here comes something that has been confused me for a long time. Isn't
1 modulo 8 = 1? You are always talking about `1 modulo something'.
My definition of `modulo' (a mod b is the remainder of a/b) gives:
0 mod 4 = 0
1 mod 4 = 1
2 mod 4 = 2
3 mod 4 = 3
4 mod 4 = 0
5 mod 4 = 1
etc., and by this follows that 1 mod x = 1 (at least for x >= 1). But
it looks like I've missed something important...
