Happy Leap Day!

I had to post again today, in honor of February 29. Pretty cool! The math teacher in me just has to ask, do you know how to tell if it's a leap year? Every 4 years, right? Well, almost. The year does need to be divisible by 4...BUT, if the year happens to be divisible by 100, it is only a leap year if it is also divisible by 400 (so the year 2000 was a leap year but the year 2100 won't be). Now you know!
