You're not missing anything.  That's the obvious solution.  We're just
celebrating our non-Dutchness at the moment.

>>> def bound(value, maxBound):
...     while value > maxBound:
...         value -= maxBound
...     return value
...
>>> bound(5 + 6, 10)
1
>>> bound(8 + 7, 10)
5

See?  I'm definitely not Dutch.
