Slightly less than 365 and a quarter actually, so 2000 was not a leap year. A leap year is any year than can be divided by four except those that can be divided by 400. I get paid twice a month whether it is 28, 29, 30 or 31 days - so in terms of dollars per hour, the shorter the month the better.
2000 was a leap year, 29th Feb was a Tuesday, I think. Or am I missing something?

I think you are right, Bertie. A leap year may be divisible by four unless it is divisible by 100 when it is not. However, if it is divisible by 400, it is a leap year. This at least according to the Gregorian calendar. My error - should have looked it up instead of trusting my fading memory.
