¡Leap-Day!
The formula for leap-years is wrong:
Leap-years occur on years divisible by 4 except century-years unless divisible by 400. This assumes that the tropical year is about 365.243 solar days. We now know that the tropical year is closer to 365.242 solar days. The formula should be:
A leap-year is a year divisible by 4 except century-years unless divisible by 500.
In mine humble opinion, the year 2400 should not be a a leap-year, but 2500 should be a leap-year.
