Reply to comment by r1ng_0 in Halloween and 4th of July always occur on the same day of the week. by BlueSpeedMouse17

They def don't occur on the same day of the year lmao. Wtf are you smoking?

One is in July and the other's in October. "Day of the week" is indeed correct--where are you getting this confidence to say it's "absolutely not correct"..?? This year they're both on Tuesday.

I’m thinking this means they have a multiple of 7 between them, then. 17, to be exact. So 119 days between them, guaranteeing they’ll always fall on the same weekday.

Well, shit. I forgot about leap years. Without that, July 4th would always be the 185th day of the year.

I think my biggest issue was that this post clarifies the wording on a previous post by stating it in an even more obtuse manner.
