Just to nitpick... :-)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_year
The Gregorian calendar adds an extra day to February, making it 29 days
long, in years where the quotient has no remainder when divided by 4,
excluding years where the quotient has no remainder when divided by 100,
but including years where the quotient has no remainder when divided by
400. So 1996, 2000, and 2400 are leap years but 1800, 1899, 1900 and 2100
are not.
