Unfortunately, you've erased all traces of humor inherent in the
original.
The goal is to deliver the punchline without boring the audience.
The following howler makes essentially the same gag, without the verbose
repetition of similar code:
for (i = 1; i <= 5; i++) { // replace with loop syntax for language
if (id = i)
set $piece(^|"app"|global("index"),"^", i * 2 - 1) = $horolog
}
