For once, the government knows what's going on.

On: Leap Year Woes in Japan

My cousin's first birthday was 4 years ago today. Of course, this is the first time he's celebrated his real birthday :)

Fortunately for him, the (local, state, federal) government treats March 1 as his birthday in non-leap years. As soon as March 1, 2017 rolls around, we can have a beer together.

Ok - you're wrong :)

A year is a leap year if:

It is divisible by 4

Unless it is divisible by 100, then it is a normal year

Unless it is divisible by 400, then it is a leap year again.

Following that logic, the years 1700, 1800, and 1900 were not leap years, but the year 2000 is and the year 2400 will be.
