Small correction, it's every fourth year except every hundreth year except every 400th year. I'm assuming the misconception comes from the last time it was a 100th also being a 1000th (2000) but the next time a leap year will end in 00 is 2400

Ahh right! Thanks for correcting me. Now that you mention it I remember too. It also makes sense, a year is roughly 365.2425 days long. Add 0.25 (one out of four), subtract 0.01 (one out of hundred), add another 0.0025 (2.5 out of thousand which is 1 out of 400)
