No Rep Magic

The reason leap years even exist is because a complete orbit around the sun is not exactly 365 days, but closer to 365 days and 6 hours so every 4 years (6 x 4 = 24), an extra day (24 hours) has accumulated. A century year (such as 1900 or 2000) is not a leap year unless it’s also evenly divisible by 400. So 1600 and 2000 WERE leap years but 1700 and 1800 WERE NOT leap years. Subsequently, 2400 and 2800 will be leap years. Someone who is born on leap day may choose to celebrate their birthday on either the 28th of February or the 1st of March. For legal purposes it would largely depend on the law of the area. In English law, they considered February 28th and February 29th one day, so those born on February 29th was really born on February 28th. So in England and Wales a person born on leap day legally reached the age of 18 or 21 on the 28th. Oh also, there was a school shooting on February the 29th (8 years ago in fact). But that’s neither here nor there. I think that’s about all I have in regards to leap day. Oh and there’s a skunk outside my room, so it smells right now. But that’s really not related to leap day. Other than it happened on leap day.
