That was my first impression too. 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.
