To me, the answer "implied" the next non-leap year is 3000, but it's actually in 2100. Not to matter - I won't live it but perhaps my kids & grandkids will. Interesting question - I learn a lot with this game.

leap year is to do with earth's orbit around the sun

I wrote a computer program wants to figure this out. Leap year isn't too bad it's Easter that's the bad calculations. but that's another story.

I knew this because I have a bank book of my grandma's from 1899-1900 that has a calendar for the next 100 years and the leap years didn't match up until I found the missing one in1900

Now if people could only get the last year of a decade/century/millennium correct.
