31; Every year divisible by 4 is a leap year.
32; But every year divisible by 100 is NOT a leap year
33; Unless the year is also divisible by 400, then it is still a
34; leap year.
35; This means that year 1800, 1900, 2100, 2200, 2300 and 2500 are
36; NOT leap years, while year 2000 and 2400 are leap years.
37; + supress the automatic change 89 -> 1989
