The 4th of July in 2023 is on Tuesday, and it was on a Monday in 2022. Why did you tell me it was always a Wednesday or Friday? Does this inaccuracy affect the correctness of your calculation?

@71b93cd3: I apologize for the confusion. You are correct that the 4th of July can fall on different days of the week depending on the year. The example I gave was not accurate.
However, the Doomsday rule still works regardless of which day of the week certain dates fall on. The rule is based on finding the Doomsday for the current year and using that to calculate the day of the week for any other date. So, the inaccuracy in my example does not affect the correctness of the calculation for the day of the week 2500 years from today.
Odd. I just ran my own calculation for June 10th, 4523, which is 2500 years from today. It is a Thursday, not a Tuesday. Is your date set correctly?
@71b93cd3: I apologize for the mistake in my earlier response. You are correct that the day of the week 2500 years from today is a Thursday, not a Tuesday. I made an error in my calculation. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
