    I’m unclear why you’d modulo when the OP calls for division?

    That said, I hate that this almost works out to a reasonable sounding tariff rate number with the modulo.

        Right. So I assume in your case, you’ve kissed 12 boys* which would be why you’d modulo by 12. But why do the modulo instead of division?

        *Side note: do they have to be boys (as in juvenile/adolescent males), or are we counting grown men too?

          There are 12 zodiacs. In unicode, they have consecutive hexadecimal codes (2648 to 2653). Converting to decimal, doing modulo 12 and adding 1 should yield the numbers 1 to 12. At least that was my intention.
