You would only need as many guesses as it would take to get from july to december. I doubt it was any earlier.

So, July 5th?

What's so random about it? The date of the holiday was chosen to commemorate the official adoption of the final revision of the document (i.e. that point at which the declaration was made). Seems a very logical date to choose.
