1932 and 1936 were the only leap years in the 1930s.
That is just the way the calendars do repeat. A calendar repeats either every 5, 6 or 11 years, or every 28 years in the case of a leap year. A leap year skips a day, so you don't wait 7 years for a day to come round a second time. Depending how the leap years lie in relation to a year, one day may be skipped in a 7 year period, 2 days may be skipped in a 7 year period, if there are 2 leap years in that period, or the day you are expecting to come round is itself skipped, which accounts for an 11 year gap. If you check a set of calendars for that period, or any period you will see how the gaps are normally 5, 6 or 11 years. 1878 started on a Tuesday. As part of the normal pattern, there was an 11 year gap to 1889. 1884 did start on a Tuesday but being a leap year, it had 29 days in February, which 1878 did not, so it was not a repeat of 1878. So 1889 was the next normal year to start on a Tuesday. There was then a 6 year gap to 1895, as 1892 was the only leap year in that period, causing 1 day to be skipped. 1900 was not a leap year, which slightly disrupted the normal pattern of a leap year being every 4 years. It would normally have been a 5 year gap after that, but because 1900 was not a leap year, there was another 6 year gap to 1901, as 1896 was the only leap year in that period. Then there was a 6 year gap to 1907 as 1904 was the only leap year in that period. So that is how the 4 years occurred.
The Julian calendar introduced by Julius Caesar had 365 days per year and 366 EVERY 4 years. This had allowed the calendar to creep out of line with the seasons. The Gregorian calendar we use now has the leap year rule: Every year that is exactly divisible by four is a leap year, except for years that are exactly divisible by 100; the centurial years that are exactly divisible by 400 are still leap years. For example, the year 1900 was not a leap year; the year 2000 was a leap year.

60s X 60m =3600sX 24=86400s X 365d= 31536000X 6yr =189216000 seconds in 6 years -- another answer -- there are 60 seconds in a minute 60 minutes in an hour (which equals 3,600 seconds) 24 hours in a day (which equals 86,400 seconds) 365 days in a (regular) year (which equals 31,536,000 seconds) 366 day in a leap year (which equals 31,622,400) So, as six consecutive years will definitely include one leap year we get 5 regular years (which equals 157,680,000 seconds) and one leap year - together this totals 189,302,400 seconds. But, there could be two leap years in six consecutive years and that would mean 4 ordinary years (which equals 126,144,000 seconds) and 2 leap years (which equals 63,244,800 seconds) and that total is 189,388,800 seconds.
Non-leap years that start on a Sunday and all years that start on a Saturday, which is 24.75% of all years, have 260 weekdays. Non-leap years that start on a weekday and leap years that start on a Sunday or a Friday, which is 61.75% of all years, have 261 weekdays. Leap years that start on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, which is 13.5% of all years, have 262 weekdays.
There are 1035072000 seconds in 32 years and 300 days, not counting leap years. Assuming you start on a leap year there is 1288742400 seconds.
In a span of 1000 years, there are typically 250 leap years. This is because a leap year occurs every 4 years, except for years that are divisible by 100 but not by 400. So, in 1000 years, there are 250 multiples of 4, minus 10 multiples of 100 that are not multiples of 400, resulting in a total of 250 leap years.
It depends on when you start - whether in a leap year or not, whether your time span includes a xy00 year or not. So there is no simple answer.
No, but 2004 and 2008 were both leap years.
The year MUST start on a Sunday. For a leap year, it can start on Saturday or Sunday. In any period of 400 years there are 303 non-leap years, of which 43 begins and ends with a Sunday, and there are 97 leap years, of which 28 begins with a Saturday or a Sunday. So the probability in a non-leap year is 43/303, or 14.2%. And the probability in a leap year is 28/97, or 28.9%
No, because the system of leap years that we use now did not exist then. We did not start using the current system until 1752.
As of and including 2012, there have been twelve leap years since 1966. Simply taking the number of elapsed years and dividing by four will only get you the correct answer part of the time, since it mathematically assumes the year before you start counting is a leap year.
Leap Years are years divisible by four, with two exceptions. 1. "Century" year numbers (divisible evenly by 100) are not leap years. 2. Years divisible evenly by 400 ARE leap years. So years like 1992 and 1996 were leap years. Century years like 1900 or 2100 are NOT leap years. But 2000 was a leap year, and 2400 will be.
It depends on how many leap years are included. There would be 2 on average, but depending on when you start counting there might be three. If there are two leap years, there would be 521 weeks and 5 days.
A leap day on a Monday happens every 28 years. Taking from the start of the 20th century, the years it happened were 1904, 1932, 1960, 1988 and 2016. The next one will be in 2044.
There are 4 years between every leap year. Correction: There are 4 years between MOST leap years. That's the case 99.25% of the time. For the other 0.75% of the time, there are 8 years between leap years.
