using '%' may be confused with modulus, but essentially, it ends up
being something similar to another technique i thought of too:
if (((a >> 1) + (b >> 1)) & 0x8000000) {
}
which will basically remove the least sig. bit (shift right by 1)
and hence you add together, it wont overflow.. however, an overflow
can be determined by checking if the most significant bit is set.
