minus-squareKISSmyOSFeddit@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·7 months agoThey were right, though. A year with 366 days and ending in “024” won’t happen for another thousand years.
minus-squareAngryCommieKender@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·7 months agoInterestingly, the years 2100, 2200, 2300, and 2400 won’t be leap years, but IIRC, the years 2500, and 3000 will be.
minus-squareKISSmyOSFeddit@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·7 months agoIt’s a leap year if it’s: divisible by 4 AND ( not divisible by 100 OR divisible by 250 )
minus-squareAngryCommieKender@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·7 months agoThere are more rules than that, but yeah

It’s a leap year if it’s:
divisible by 4
AND
( not divisible by 100 OR
divisible by 250
)
