TALK
What is the color of the cap? Feb 27, 2009 (download powerpoint)
Interpreting 9+5 as 5 hours after 9 am, one could claim 9+5=2 along with usual 9+5=14. The former is known as arithmetic modulo 12. Using modular arithmetic discussed are applications to mathematics, daily life and a variant of famous "prisoners guessing the color of cap to get out of jail" puzzle. This talk is fairly elementary; knowing usual (not modular!) arithmetic is enough.
