This is correct, and comes from mixing up == and !=. Fixed.

== Sunday is 7 not 0 ==
At least accordin to ISO 8601, not that programmers would forego a zero-based index just to conform to a petty standard... :-) --[[User:Petelomax|Pete Lomax]] ([[User talk:Petelomax|talk]]) 18:17, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
: I rather suspect that being 7 mod 7 is 0, not 7, most programmers would rather use consistent operators and indexing and avoid adding unnecessary complexity rather than mindless conformance to some external standards format that has little to do with how such indexes are calculated... but that's just me. --[[User:Thundergnat|Thundergnat]] ([[User talk:Thundergnat|talk]]) 18:50, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
Conway actually made up mneumonic names for the days of the week to fix his scheme, and these are NOT the ISO standard (see Wiki entry).
