Sunday-On-Or-After-Saturday Trick

takeaway 1 connections

When a spec says 'first Sunday after the vernal equinox' (or similar), immediately rewrite it to 'Sunday on or after the Saturday following the vernal equinox'. The rewritten form has no edge case when the reference event itself falls on a Sunday. Generalizes to any 'first X after Y' scheduling rule.
