This is why my first response was that       the idea of puzzle was to perform calculations in modular arithmetic       without conversions to real/integer/fixed-point. Which is possible to       do, one should only count wrap-ups after each addition and in the end       take them into account in final division and remainder computations.              --       Regards,       Dmitry A.
