Your 23-0 vs 24 hours part of the conversation was hilarious.
When you do a subtraction (B-A), your asking how many different values do I need to pass to get to B if I'm starting from A. However, when you ask how many different possible values there are, it is B-A+1. The plus one comes in because you have to include the value you are on.
