Turtle's troglodytes

Let me just remind you what these are: in his blog., Turtle asserted that, for any integer n = abcde (where we may have, say a=b) then n \equiv a+b+c+d+e \mod 9.

Now I confess I haven't read the whole article, so for all I know this may have been covered, but the proof of this is laughably easy.

Take an integer like, oh I dunno, say 467. Historically this notation means 400+60+7. So any integer can be written as 10^na+ 10^{n-1}b+10^{n-2}c + \cdots n.

I take it I may assume that anyone reading this my blog is slightly interested in what I have to say?

So. I have been learning category theory over the last few months. I am here to tell you it is the coolest subject EVER.

It is highly abstract, of course, that is why it is affectionately known as "abstract nonsense", but not that hard, I think.

Well it is hard, because...
