It has to do with the Remind scanning algorithm.  In the slides
at http://www.roaringpenguin.com/files/download/remind-oclug.pdf
I call it the Remind Zen.

Hint: Run through your reminder file by hand, pretending that the run
occurs on the Tuesday of Week 11 of the current year.

Then see the SCANFROM documentation in the man page.

David.
