Then add the rotations starting from the initial offset and count the
number of 0's mod 100; that is what we need for part 1

(length (--filter (= 0 it) (--map (mod it 100) (-running-sum (append '(50) data)))))
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:

For part 2, This ain't pretty, but it works:
- we count the number of full turns that have been done in each
rotation
- we add the number of times we landed at 0 by turning left and then
right immediately after; these have not been counted above
