In my arithmetic 365-2 = 363, which isn't divisible by 7.

Similarly, there was movement that in the early eighties for
calendar reform. It was going to change the calendar so that it had
two non-day-of-the-week days over the year so that the remaining
year would be evenly divisible by seven. Then, a particular date
would always happen on the same day of the week. It was really
gaining momentum for it's convenience.
Computers, specifically Excel, killed the movement.
