The counter is always divisible by 3. It is not always *evenly* divisible by 3. Maybe you want to make that more obvious.

Thanks Bruce, you're absolutely right.
[
to decide if a number is evenly divisible by another number is:
divide the number by the other number returning a quotient number and a remainder number;
return true if the remainder is null;

Of course, in plain English idiom, the opposite (in this case) return false default statement should be obvious (as it is to the-idiom) and need not be written.
there is no "end" in idiom, for idiom is an end in itself;
