Maths for you

When does:
10+3= 1?
9+9=6?

Chances are if you get one, you get them both.

It might have a solution like this: 10+3=13 or ONE bakers dozen.
Not sure of the 9+9=6 part. 9+9=18 which is 6X3, it could be something like 9 pints plus 9 pints = 6 drams or something.

One dram is 5 mL. Try again.

10+3=13-12=1
9+9=18-12=6
subtract 12.

2+2 = 5 for sufficiently large values of 2.

10+3 = 1 mod 12

9+9 = 6 mod 12

Okay, I know you know fancy math and all, but 2+2 doesn't equal 5.

Please define "mod".

It could if you used the right number base. Say like base 1/2 Sqrt 5.
I think then 2+2 would in fact = 5. A friend of mine, Malcom Lines is a retired Bell labs scientist and wrote a book about numbers called
'A number for your thoughts', he gave me a copy. He blew Isaac Asimov's mind when he showed you don't even have to use positive numbers to represent all the numbers, like base negative 10.
They corresponded till Isaac died.

The remainders on dividing the two sums by twelve are respectively 1 and 6.
