  "method": "Find the first April 29 on or after the start date, then count the days from the start date to it.",
  "assumptions": [
    "April 29 comes every year, so the count is never more than 365 days.",
    "The start date itself is not counted: from the day before April 29, the count is 1; on April 29 itself, it is 0.",
    "Start dates from January 1, 1900 to December 31, 2400 work for the count to April 29, the range the date field accepts.",
    "Today is the date on your own device, so the count to April 29 changes at midnight where you are. Dates are whole calendar days, so a daylight-saving change never adds or loses a day."
