Yes, Gill Pratt and everyone else who wrote to me to correct my egrtegious
(make that egregious) error are correct: 60 mod 20 == 0.  Mea maxima culpa.
Please, no more mail about it!  The only defense I can offer is that at the
time I sent the reply, I was rather upset by the fact that my wife was about
to give birth to our first child.  Well, now I am even worse, since she is
STILL about to give birth.  AAUUGGH!

So give me a break, folks.  No more mail about my momentary lapse, please?
(I would like to mention that everyone who did remind me of my error were
approximately polite about it.)
