Question 898195: If a year had only 364 days, then wee could use the same calendar every year. But actually most years have 365 days and leap years have 366 days. For the relevant years, a leap year occurs when the year is divisible by 4.
I was just about to throw away my calendar for 2014 when I wondered when I would first be able to reuse it. In which year will that be?
Finding I had a copy of each calendar from the year 2000, I wondered further about this problem. What would be the greatest amount of time I would have to keep any calendar until it could be reused? JUSTIFY YOUR ANSWER.
