Lee piers no they don’t happen all the time but neither do presidential
time but neither do presidential
time but neither do presidential elections but people don’t freak out
elections but people don’t freak out
elections but people don’t freak out with it well it’s a presidential
with it well it’s a presidential
with it well it’s a presidential election year it’s rare notes every four
election year it’s rare notes every four
election year it’s rare notes every four years chill out we on earth as we orbit
years chill out we on earth as we orbit
years chill out we on earth as we orbit the Sun we know how to calculate a year
the Sun we know how to calculate a year
the Sun we know how to calculate a year is how long it takes to come back to
is how long it takes to come back to
is how long it takes to come back to where you were
where you were
where you were that’s a year but it turns out if you
that’s a year but it turns out if you
that’s a year but it turns out if you cut the number of days we live into the
cut the number of days we live into the
cut the number of days we live into the year it doesn’t divide evenly so there’s
year it doesn’t divide evenly so there’s
year it doesn’t divide evenly so there’s not an even number of days in the time
not an even number of days in the time
not an even number of days in the time it takes earth to go around the Sun it
it takes earth to go around the Sun it
it takes earth to go around the Sun it takes like 365 and a quarter days to go
takes like 365 and a quarter days to go
takes like 365 and a quarter days to go around the Sun so we just ignore that
around the Sun so we just ignore that
around the Sun so we just ignore that quarter day just sweep it under the rug
quarter day just sweep it under the rug
quarter day just sweep it under the rug for three years the fourth year how many
for three years the fourth year how many
for three years the fourth year how many quarters have you added up four quarters
quarters have you added up four quarters
quarters have you added up four quarters so there’s a whole day now that you’ve
so there’s a whole day now that you’ve
so there’s a whole day now that you’ve saved up and in the fourth year you put
saved up and in the fourth year you put
saved up and in the fourth year you put that day back in the calendar and you
that day back in the calendar and you
that day back in the calendar and you give it to the neediest month February
give it to the neediest month February
give it to the neediest month February and so this is the origin of the leap
and so this is the origin of the leap
and so this is the origin of the leap day and this is as it was conceived in
day and this is as it was conceived in
day and this is as it was conceived in the Julian calendar the calendar that
the Julian calendar the calendar that
the Julian calendar the calendar that preceded the current calendar the
preceded the current calendar the
preceded the current calendar the Gregorian calendar most people don’t
Gregorian calendar most people don’t
Gregorian calendar most people don’t know that this one every four year rule
know that this one every four year rule
know that this one every four year rule over corrects the leap day it’s not
over corrects the leap day it’s not
over corrects the leap day it’s not actually 365 and a quarter day it’s a
actually 365 and a quarter day it’s a
actually 365 and a quarter day it’s a little bit less than a quarter so you
little bit less than a quarter so you
little bit less than a quarter so you wait four years and put in a whole day
wait four years and put in a whole day
wait four years and put in a whole day you put in too much so you have to wait
you put in too much so you have to wait
you put in too much so you have to wait until you put in a whole day too much
until you put in a whole day too much
until you put in a whole day too much then you take out a leap day that would
then you take out a leap day that would
then you take out a leap day that would have otherwise appeared so every hundred
have otherwise appeared so every hundred
have otherwise appeared so every hundred years you have over corrected by a leap
years you have over corrected by a leap
years you have over corrected by a leap day by an entire day so every hundred
day by an entire day so every hundred
day by an entire day so every hundred years 100 years are divisible by four
years 100 years are divisible by four
years 100 years are divisible by four aren’t they
aren’t they
aren’t they every hundred years you take out the
every hundred years you take out the
every hundred years you take out the leap day that would have otherwise been
leap day that would have otherwise been
leap day that would have otherwise been there so 1900 was not a leap year 1800
there so 1900 was not a leap year 1800
there so 1900 was not a leap year 1800 was not a leap year 1700 was not a leap
was not a leap year 1700 was not a leap
was not a leap year 1700 was not a leap year for this reason okay so now by
year for this reason okay so now by
year for this reason okay so now by taking out that day now you have over
taking out that day now you have over
taking out that day now you have over corrected in the opposite direction
corrected in the opposite direction
corrected in the opposite direction and now there’s a day that you have to
and now there’s a day that you have to
and now there’s a day that you have to put back in it turns out every 400 years
put back in it turns out every 400 years
put back in it turns out every 400 years so every 400 years in the century year
so every 400 years in the century year
so every 400 years in the century year that would have not had a leap day on
that would have not had a leap day on
that would have not had a leap day on the century rule gets a leap day put
the century rule gets a leap day put
the century rule gets a leap day put back in on the 400 year rule this sounds
back in on the 400 year rule this sounds
back in on the 400 year rule this sounds complicated but it has profound
complicated but it has profound
complicated but it has profound implications in the year 2000 it’s a
implications in the year 2000 it’s a
implications in the year 2000 it’s a century year that wouldn’t normally get
century year that wouldn’t normally get
century year that wouldn’t normally get a leap day but it’s a century year
a leap day but it’s a century year
a leap day but it’s a century year divisible by 400 so you put the leap day
divisible by 400 so you put the leap day
divisible by 400 so you put the leap day back in so when everyone experienced the
back in so when everyone experienced the
back in so when everyone experienced the leap day in the year 2000 they’re saying
leap day in the year 2000 they’re saying
leap day in the year 2000 they’re saying to themself of course it’s a leap year
to themself of course it’s a leap year
to themself of course it’s a leap year it’s divisible by four it’s like no it’s
it’s divisible by four it’s like no it’s
it’s divisible by four it’s like no it’s a leap year because it’s a century year
a leap year because it’s a century year
a leap year because it’s a century year divisible by 400 they’re in is through
divisible by 400 they’re in is through
divisible by 400 they’re in is through gorian calendar as it was established in
gorian calendar as it was established in
gorian calendar as it was established in 1582 that’s the story of the calendar
1582 that’s the story of the calendar
1582 that’s the story of the calendar you asked okay I was sitting here
you asked okay I was sitting here
you asked okay I was sitting here minding my own business and you had to
