Q29. Two version have been recorded by The Kinks of their song "Lola". What is the difference between the 2 versions?

quote:

---

An amateur astronomer (and professional physician) named Aloysius Lilius proposed a new formula for computing when leap days should be inserted. According to Lilius, century years (that is, years whose number ends in a double zero) should NOT be a leap year unless they are evenly divisible by 400.

1600 was a leap year
1700, 1800, 1900 were not leap years
2000 is a leap year (check your calendar!)
2100, 2200, 2300 will not be leap years
