So the 275th letter of

yabbadabbadooyabbadabbadooyabbadabbadoo...

will be the 
same as the number of letter of 
"yabbadabbadoo" that corresponds to

275 mod 13

which is found by dividing 275
by 13 and taking the remainder:

    21
13)275

    13
     2

The remainder is 2, so the 275th
letter will be the same as the 2nd
