It took me a while to understand why it was a remained. :) Expanding Andrey's formula you get exp_time = exp_time + count + (time_now - exp_time) / count * count the remainder, (time_now - exp_time) % count would be time_now - exp_time - (time_now - exp_time) / count * count so -((time_now - exp_time) % count) is exp_time - time_now + (time_now - exp_time) / count * count so Andrey's expression is exp_time = time_now + (count - (time_now - exp_time) % count) Yeah, that looks nice.
