How the count is worked out

Counting starts from tomorrow, not today, and includes April Fools' Day itself if it lands on a Friday. That matters most when the event is close: a difference of one day at the start can change the total by a whole Friday. Because weekdays repeat every seven days, the count is roughly the number of days remaining divided by seven, then rounded up or down depending on which weekday today is. Today is a Tuesday, and April Fools' Day falls on a Thursday.
