SUPER TUESDAYS!

It being Tuesday, you should know this baffling fact:

On average, there are 16% more births on Tuesdays than any other day of the week!

Why is this? Most scheduled caesarian sections are done on Tuesdays and the most spontaneous births also occur on this day. There's no particular reason for scheduling c-sections on Tuesdays, except for the contract signed by all obstetricians when they are licensed. It states:

In order to maintain the glorious statistic known as,
"SUPER TUESDAY"
all caesarian sections are to be scheduled on Tuesdays.

If there are more natural births on tuesdays, doesn't it make sense to schedule c-sections on a different day?
