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?
