I really don’t want to nitpick about historical lessons, facts, and trivia, but 2015 isn’t a leap year.

Right? Not inspiring confidence in the contents…

Yeah. The cover looks like it supposed to be history readings for each day of February 2015. No 29th this year. If the cover had just read “February” it would not have raised snark.

BTW: A leap year February (29 days) with 1st on Sunday was last correct for 2004. It will happen again every 14 years. IIRC, next will be 2018.

2018 isn’t a leap year. Actually, leap years can’t be 14 years apart from each other. So maybe it was another number you were thinking of?

Good catch. Duh. I didn’t recall correctly, did I? I need to double check my perpetual calender.

(There are 14 distinct calenders: Jan 1st starting on Sun-Sat (7), year of 365 plus leap year of 366 (2), 7×2=14, but you can’t just add 14 to a calendar’s year number and reuse that calender. :banghead:)

I was just counting them as well. Six?
Plus, Red is right, 2015 is not a leap year.
