No! That is why the Mayans were off by 30 seconds this year.
No, the Mayans did not use leap years in their calendar system. Their calendar was based on a 260-day cycle called the Tzolk'in and a 365-day cycle called the Haab'. The combination of these two cycles created a calendar round of 52 years.

Leap year is an accounting gimmick that we use to keep our human calendar matched to the seasons. There can be no situation as you describe, as there is no time when there is "supposed to be" a leap year.
Yes. In 1024, the old Julian calendar was in use, which designated every fourth year as a leap year.
You can use a number of nested "if" commands. The rules are the following: If the year is a multiple of 400, it IS a leap year. Else, if the year is a multiple of 100, it's NOT a leap year. Else, if the year is a multiple of 4, it IS a leap year. Else it's NOT a leap year. In Java, to check for divisibility, you use the "%" operator, which gives you the remainder of a division. For example: if (year % 400 = 0) ... To show results on screen, you use: System.out.println(...)
to help them tell which day it was throughout the year
Yes, 1804 was a leap year. Any year whose number is evenly divisible by four is a leap year, with two exceptions. Any year whose number is evenly divisible by 100 is NOT a leap year. Any year evenly divisible by 400 IS a leap year. So, 1800 was not a leap year, while 1804 WAS a leap year. 1900 was not a leap year, while 2000 (being divisible by 400) was a leap year.
The year 2000 was a leap year, so the use of a 2000 calendar is limited to leap years. Which are.... 2000, 2028, 2056, 2084.
3080 will be a leap year.
1776 was a leap year
No. If the year number can be divided by four then it's a leap year. 2012=Leap year.
2112 will be a leap year. If you meant 2012, then it too was a leap year.
Yes 2016 is a leap year.
