Well, in approximate mode 23 is the correct answer (for some value of correct, and extending the meaning of modulus to rational numbers):

7^23 ==> 2.73687473401E19
2.73687473401E19 MOD 143 ==> 23.

The Home/CAS dichotomy on the Prime is worse than a multiple personality disorder; more like a severed corpus callosum. I'm not sure if the complexity of this model causes more headaches and confusion for users or for the poor developers who have to make this untidiness work inside, but I'm utterly amazed that it's resulted in so _few_ bugs!
