That will work too.

SATISFY is SATISFYing but it's quite inefficient.  Remind has to
repeatedly test candidates until it finds one for which the SATISFY
expression evaluates to true.  I tend to use it sparingly and make the
rest of the reminder as specific as possible to limit the number of times
the SATISFY expression has to be evaluated.
