If you land randomly in 1963 and wonder if it's before or after the Kennedy assassination, it's way more likely that it's before, since it happened in late November.

Running around 1963 Dallas muttering,

“Last week I had the strangest dream where everything was exactly how it seemed where there was never any mystery of who shot John F Kennedy. It was just a man with something to prove, slightly bored and severely confused. He steadied his rifle with his target in the center and became famous on that day in November…”

My dear man, it's 1963 and you're on the street. Somewhere not far from you there's gonna be a newspaper stand or a store selling newspapers. Don't ask random people on the street what year it is like a madman.
