Happy Leap Year!

[Duer 157099]

I just noticed that we get 29 days this month.

I'm not sure I really like this though. I'm used to only having 28 days in February.

What should we do with that extra day?

1. We should leap!

[SwissTony]

2. We also get an extra leap second this year!!!!

What will we do with all that time on our hands?

3. That's 'No Clothes Day"

4. Here's a short quiz about leap years:

1. Was 1900 a leap year?

2. Was 2000 a leap year?

3. Will 2100 be a leap year?

6. Years that are evenly divisible by 100 are not leap years

unless they are also evenly divisible by 400, in which case they are leap years.

So...

1. Was 1900 a leap year? No
2. Was 2000 a leap year? Yes
3. Will 2100 be a leap year? No

7. Right you are.

And for extra credit:

4. Was 1500 a leap year?

8. Yes

by Julian calendar reckoning.

9. Right again!

I tried to set a trap, but you didn't fall for it.

The Gregorian calendar was introduced in 1582. It was never applied retroactively.
