Lets count the fingers again

Lets count the fingers again, but
a little different. Use both hands,
Start with one as the little finger of the
left hand. Count left to right so the left thumb is 5.

Continue with the right hand. But lets suppose the right
thumb is missing. 6 is the right index finger, and 9 is
the right little finger.

Don't recount the little finger so 10 is the right
ring finger.

Just keep counting all nine fingers left to right then
right to left. Which finger is # 123456789 ?

Need help? lets count to 17

Left Little" '1
Left Ring" '2
Left Middle" '3
Left Index" '4
Left Thumb" '5
Right Index" '6
Right Middle" '7
Right Ring" '8
Right Little" '9
Right Ring" '10
Right Middle" '11
Right Index" '12
Left Thumb" '13
Left Index" '14
Left Middle" '15
Left Ring" '16
Left Little" '17

I answered for both. I just went nuts and used mod 17 instead of 16.

Please confirm above for Ragknot.

1234567891011121314151617181920 is exactly divisible by 16, so the remainder is 0. That corresponds to finger 16. It sounds like an error in your code.
