Wuhooo!! I see you've finished the book. I hope you enjoyed it.

Now it's time for some questions asked by gem readers for which I've put my best efforts to answer. I hope you like it.

Question 1:

anu_chan_: The fact of 100 not being a leap year even though divisible by 4. It's so contrary to general opinion feels untrue.

Aeron: It is actually a scientific error. You must be knowing a day is actually 23hrs 56min 6sec. Thus not being exactly 24hrs, it gives rise to leap year every 4th year. So every year divisble by 4 should be leap year.

But story doesn't get over here.

This not exactly 24hrs results in another error every 100thyear thus all year like 100, 200...2000 is not supposed to be a leap year.

But again as a wrong clock tells right time at some point. In same way this error in 100th year gets corrected by itself in evey 400years. Thus each year divisble by 400 would be a leap year.

To summarise, a year divided by 4 is leap year. But if year are divisible by 100 it's not. However if those 100years are divisible by 400. It would be a leap year.
