They don't occur on the same day of the week, did you even get past basic algebra in high school?

If July 4th falls on a certain day of the week, Halloween (October 31st) will fall on that same day of the week in a given year. This works because July and October have the same number of days, that being 31. Check them both in a calendar. They line up the same way Christmas and New Year's Day line up, except they're further apart.

Well shit, I apologize I'm wrong. You apparently got an A in finite math and college. I see it now. I originally thought you meant they both fell in the same day of the week year in year out. Not actually together.

It reads slightly confusing.
