As you might have guessed, I was too lazy to look it up
A3: Century years are not leap years even though
divisible by 4, unless
divisible by 400 (..the arcane things one remembers).
As a "Computer Math" problem, I gave different levels of credit for the
answers on whether they took 1900 into account, and whether they took 2000
into account.
I'm not sure, but I assume that 1900 leap-year exception was why some
Apple time/date data structures start counting in 1904.
