Right.

Right, by coincidence.

Nope.  You want: REM Tue 8 MSG...

The number means the first Tuesday on or after the n'th of the month.
For first weekday, use 1.  For second, use 8; third, use 15 and fourth,
use 22.

Why did I do it this weird way?  Well, consider specifying "The
Tuesday after the second Monday in a month."  In Remind, that's a
no-brainer:

REM Tue 9 MSG Tuesday after second Monday in every month.

Subtle, eh? :-)

Specifying the fifth Tuesday is slightly trickier:

REM Tue 29 SATISFY [day(trigdate()) >= 29] MSG Fifth Tuesday of every month

Hope you enjoy reading the man page! :-)
