Problem 8 - Entrance Test

A leap year occurs every four years. How many days does February have in a leap year?

Correct: B

Because the Earth takes 365 days and about 6 hours to orbit the Sun, these extra 6 hours accumulate to an extra day (6 hours x 4 years = 24 hours) every four years. This extra day is added to February, making it 29 days long in a leap year.
