I put together a small project using the same variables, declarations, 
assignments, etc., as the actual program. Interestingly, sometimes the 
"From Mem" and "Reversed" results are the same, other times they are 
different. They also seem to cycle between the same values instead of 
changing based on the current time. Something really weird's going on. 
Hopefully I'm just being an idiot and there's a simple solution.
