Days start at 0h, not 12h

It can't start at 12 hours if there are 24 segments.

And keep your letters out of it too.

The AM/PM bullshit:

AM: 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11

Then the same for PM. Who counts like that? Whats after 12? 1! What?

The galaxy-brained group known as "Z~12~ + 1". "What if we did modular arithmetic but one-indexed."

Edit: Actually, wait, it's worse: zero-indexing but we represent the zero element in Z~n~ as 'n'. Kill it with fire.

Is not 12+12Z the exact same coset as 0+12Z? Is 12 not the identity element? Must group theory follow computer science conventions?
