Without consulting anything, but just on general principles, Molad Zaken
ought to occur in 25% of all years, while ADU ought to occur in 43% of
all years (in 11% of years they should both occur).  GaTReD Peshuta
should happen in 3.3% of years (and always triggers an ADU dechiya),
while BeTU TaKPaT Motzaei Meuberet should occur in only 0.5% of years.
It follows that in 40% of years there are no dechiyot at all.
