<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael K, post: 3023737, member: 78298&quot;]&quot;Rather than add a day periodically as with the Gregorian calendar, The New Earth Calendar adds a leap week each fifth year. Specifically, add one week after December (December 29-35) in each year evenly divisible by 5 or 400, but not in other years divisible by 40. To remember this, if the year ends in 5 or 0, it’s a Leap Year except for a couple times in a lifetime. This is easy to remember, but if a person were asked if 1982 was a Leap Year under the Gregorian calendar, most would probably not be able to give a quick answer.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>This makes it more difficult than the current system. So in their quest to make it easier, they end up making it harder.</p><p>Isn&#039;t every year divisible by 400 also divisible by 5?</p><p>They are ending up adding 126 days for the missing 125 every 100 years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
