Google's cute doodle for the Leap Day (29th February) 2024.
WHAT IS A LEAP DAY/YEAR?🤔🧐
Common/Calendar Year (y)=365 solar days 🗓
Solar/Tropical/Astronomical Year (Y)=365.2425 solar days🌏🌞
Y-y=0.2425; 4*(Y-y)=0.97=1-0.03 (+1 if divisible by 4)
100*(Y-y)=24.25=(25-1)+0.25 (again -1 if divisible by 100)
400*(Y-y)=97=4*(25-1)+1 (again +1 if divisible by 400)That is to say,
Using logical and modulo operators, the year n is said to be a leap year if and only if:
(n mod 4=0)∧((n mod 100≠0)∨(n mod 400=0)).In other words, a year is a leap year if it is evenly divisibly 4, except for years that are evenly divisible by 100 but not evenly divisible by 400.
For example, 2024 and 2028 are leap years; 2100 and 2200 are not, but 2400 and 2800 are.
This is our clever method to ensure that our calendar stays aligned with our seasons or Earth's orbit over time. If nothing were done about this discrepancy, our calendar would slowly drift out of sync with the Earth's orbit and seasons. After 100 years, we would be off by about 25 days! So, to fix this, we add an extra day, February 29, to the calendar every four years, with the exception that a year evenly divisible by 100 is not a leap year unless it is also evenly divisible by 400 (as shown in the calculations).

Can you imagine anything -- ANYTHING -- even remotely more annoying and painful than being on this cruise with these people, listening to their endless, "LOOK AT ME, I'M ONLY 8 YEARS OLD!!! HAHAHA!!! AIYEEEE!!!" etc. ?

Today seems like a good day to post this. This version of "Pirates of Penzance" is so good that I can almost forgive the godawful cheesy synth accompaniment.

When I was a kid, I thought February 29 was going to be a minor holiday like Easter or Halloween.
I was a little disappointed to learn there were no special foods, songs, or festivities associated with it. 😄

Happy very special Thor’s Day!
How are you?
I only got 4 hours of sleep last night.
Which Thor are you vibing with today?
1. Not awake
2. Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed

Ich fordere eine Zusatzregelung zum Schalttag: wenn der 29. Februar auf einen Samstag oder Sonntag fällt, wird er wie ein zusätzlicher Feiergag zwischen Sams- & Sonntag behandelt. Dankt mir 2032.

“a leap-year child, born on February 29, he often boasted he was one-quarter of his age. I remember my twenty-first birthday. That year, despite his eighty-four years, he claimed we were both exactly the same age.”

February 29 only occurs in years which are evenly divisible by four, although it's not quite that simple. Century years, eg 1800, 1900 are not leap years, unless unless it is also evenly divisible by 400. So just to confuse everyone, the year 2000 was a leap year.

In 1288, a law came into effect in Scotland whereby it became a crime for a man to refuse to marry a woman who made a proposal to him. If he refused, he was required to pay a fine.

Inspiroval mě @OttovonWenkoff 😘 který upozornil na skutečnost, že je dnes 29.2. a jak speciální datum to je.
Vážení, Vy, kteři máte dnes narozeniny, přijměte prosím srdečné 🐘 gratulace a přaní všeho dobrého!
A třeba bychom mohli uspořádat "sčítání 🐘 lidu" s datem narození 29.2., tak se, když tak, ozvěte.🧡👋🧡

Happy #LeapDay from Australia! 🥳🎉

Proposal: #February29 should be an international holiday, we could call it Catch Up Day, where we can use the extra day to catch up on a few things that we're behind on.
I suppose ketchup manufacturers would be all over it with ads.
